17. READ: PHILIPPIANS 2:12-16
[Philippians 2:12] "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, [13] for it is God Who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.
[14] "Do everything without complaining or arguing, [15] 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 [16] 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."
