Philippians 2:13-18
New International Reader's Version
13 God is working in you. He wants your plans and your acts to fulfill his good purpose.
14 Do everything without complaining or arguing. 15 Then you will be pure and without blame. You will be children of God without fault among sinful and evil people. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. 16 You will shine as you hold on tight to the word of life. Then I will be able to boast about you on the day Christ returns. I can be happy that I didn’t run or work for nothing. 17 But my life might even be poured out like a drink offering on your sacrifices. I’m talking about the way you serve because you believe. Even so, I am glad. I am joyful with all of you. 18 So you too should be glad and joyful with me.

Philippians 2:13-18
New International Version
13 for it is God who works in you(A) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.(B)
14 Do everything without grumbling(C) or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless(D) and pure, “children of God(E) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[a](F) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(G) that I did not run(H) or labor in vain.(I) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(J) on the sacrifice(K) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(L) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
