Therefore, my dear friends as you have always obeyed
– not only in my presence, but now much more in
my absence – continue to workout your salvation
with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in
you to will and to act according to his good
purpose. Do everything without complaining or
arguing, so that you may become blameless and
pure, children of God without fault in a crooked
and depraved generation, in which you shine like
stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life
– in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that
I did not run or labor for nothing.
