And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(E) that I did not run(F) or labor in vain.(G) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(H) on the sacrifice(I) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(J) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

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.
