Philippians 2:13-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ It is God who produces in you the desires and actions that please him.

¹⁴ Do everything without complaining or arguing. ¹⁵ Then you will be blameless and innocent. You will be God’s children without any faults among people who are crooked and corrupt. You will shine like stars among them in the world ¹⁶ as you hold firmly to the word of life. Then I can brag on the day of Christ that my effort was not wasted and that my work produced results. ¹⁷ My life is being poured out as a part of the sacrifice and service ⌞I offer to God⌟ for your faith. Yet, I am filled with joy, and I share that joy with all of you. ¹⁸ For this same reason you also should be filled with joy and share that joy with me.
