Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
    and gave him the name above all other names,

    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Shine Brightly for Christ

12 Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

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.

Paul Commends Timothy

19 If the Lord Jesus is willing, I hope to send Timothy to you soon for a visit. Then he can cheer me up by telling me how you are getting along. 20 I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare. 21 All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.

  1. 2:17 Greek I will rejoice even if I am to be poured out as a liquid offering.

Therefore God exalted him(A) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,(B)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,(C)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(D)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,(E)
    to the glory of God the Father.

Do Everything Without Grumbling

12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,(F) 13 for it is God who works in you(G) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.(H)

14 Do everything without grumbling(I) or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless(J) and pure, “children of God(K) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[a](L) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(M) that I did not run(N) or labor in vain.(O) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(P) on the sacrifice(Q) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(R) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy(S) to you soon,(T) that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him,(U) who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests,(V) not those of Jesus Christ.
