12

So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling

13

for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

14

Do all things without murmurings and questionings:

15

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

16

holding forth the word of life that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

17

Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

18

and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
