Philippians 2:14-18
Christian Standard Bible
14 Do everything without grumbling(A) and arguing,(B) 15 so that you may be blameless(C) and pure,(D) children of God who are faultless(E) in a crooked(F) and perverted(G) generation,(H) among whom you shine like stars in the world, 16 by holding firm to the word(I) of life. Then I can boast(J) in the day of Christ(K) that I didn’t run or labor for nothing. 17 But even if I am poured out(L) as a drink offering(M) on the sacrificial service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18 In the same way you should also be glad and rejoice with me.

Philippians 2:14-18
New English Translation
14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blemish though you live in a crooked and perverse society, in which you shine as lights in the world[a] 16 by holding on to[b] the word of life so that on the day of Christ I will have a reason to boast that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you. 18 And in the same way you also should be glad and rejoice together with me.
