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.

  1. Daniel 7:13 The Aramaic phrase bar enash means human being. The phrase son of man is retained here because of its use in the New Testament as a title of Jesus, probably based largely on this verse.

I looked, and there before me was a white horse!(A) Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown,(B) and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.(C)
