Philippians 2:14-18
New King James Version
14 Do all things (A)without [a]complaining and (B)disputing,[b] 15 that you may become blameless and [c]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as (C)lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that (D)I may rejoice in the day of Christ that (E)I have not run in vain or labored in (F)vain.
17 Yes, and if (G)I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice (H)and service of your faith, (I)I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

Philippians 2:14-18
American Standard Version
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.
