Light Bearers

12 Therefore, my beloved, (A)as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, (B)work out your own salvation with (C)fear and trembling; 13 for (D)it is God who works in you both to will and to do (E)for His good pleasure.

14 Do all things (F)without [a]complaining and (G)disputing,[b] 15 that you may become blameless and [c]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as (H)lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that (I)I may rejoice in the day of Christ that (J)I have not run in vain or labored in (K)vain.

17 Yes, and if (L)I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice (M)and service of your faith, (N)I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
