14 Do all things without (A)complaining or arguments; 15 so that you will [a]prove yourselves to be (B)blameless and innocent, (C)children of God above reproach in the midst of a (D)crooked and perverse generation, among whom you [b](E)appear as [c]lights in the world, 16 holding firmly the word of life, so that on (F)the day of Christ I can take pride 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 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

14 Do all things without murmurings and questionings: 15 that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as [a]lights in the world, 16 holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain. 17 Yea, and if I am [b]offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all: 18 and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
