Philippians 2:12
Compare all
10 athat at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  
11 and athat every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  

Light Bearers

12 Therefore, my beloved, aas you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, bwork out your own salvation with cfear and trembling;  
13 for ait is God who works in you both to will and to do bfor His good pleasure.  
14 Do all things awithout complaining and bdisputing,  
15 that you may become blameless and1 harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as alights in the world,  
16 holding fast the word of life, so that aI may rejoice in the day of Christ that bI have not run in vain or labored in cvain.  
17 Yes, and if aI am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice band service of your faith, cI am glad and rejoice with you all.  
18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

Timothy Commended

19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send aTimothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your1 state.  
20 For I have no one alike-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.

Philippians 2:12

As ye have always obeyed - Continue to act on the same principles and from the same motives; having the same disposition which was in Christ; laboring so as to promote his glory.

Work out your own salvation - Go on, walking by the same rule, and minding the same thing, till your salvation be completed: till, filled with love to God and man, ye walk unblamably in all his testimonies, having your fruit unto holiness, and your end everlasting life.

With fear and trembling - Considering the difficulty of the work, and the danger of miscarriage. If you do not watch, pray and continually depend on God, your enemies will surprise you, and your light and life will become extinct; and then consider what an awful account you must give to Him whose Spirit ye have grieved, and of whose glory ye have come short.
