Philippians 2:14-18
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Do all things without (A)grumbling or disputing, 15 so that you will be (B)blameless and innocent, (C)children of God without blemish in the midst of a (D)crooked and perverse generation, among whom you (E)shine as [a]lights in the world, 16 holding [b]fast the word of life, so that in (F)the day of Christ I will have reason to boast because I did not (G)run in vain nor (H)labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being (I)poured out as a drink offering upon (J)the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 18 And you also, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Philippians 2:14-18
New Living Translation
14 Do everything without complaining and arguing, 15 so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. 16 Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. 17 But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God,[a] just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. 18 Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.
