Philippians 2:14-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 Do all things without murmuring and arguing,(A) 15 so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars in the world,(B) 16 holding forth the word of life so that I can boast on the day of Christ that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.(C)
17 But even if I am being poured out as a libation over the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with all of you;(D) 18 in the same way also you should rejoice and rejoice together 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.
