Walk in Love

5 ^(A)Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. ² And ^(B)walk in love, ^(C)as Christ loved us and ^(D)gave himself up for us, a ^(E)fragrant ^(F)offering and sacrifice to God.

⁸ for ^(A)at one time you were ^(B)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. ^(C)Walk as children of light ⁹ (for ^(D)the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), ¹⁰ and ^(E)try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

¹⁵ And you Philippians yourselves know that ^(A)in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, ^(B)no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. ¹⁶ Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. ^17 (C)Not that I seek the gift, but I seek ^(D)the fruit that increases to your credit.^{[a] 18} I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, ^(E)having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, ^(F)a fragrant offering, ^(G)a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. ¹⁹ And my God ^(H)will supply every need of yours ^(I)according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. ²⁰ To ^(J)our God and Father be ^(K)glory forever and ever. Amen.
