Read in context

Philippians 2:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,

15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

16 as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
