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.

Philippians 2:13

For it is God - God alone, who is with you, though I am not. That worketh in you according to his good pleasure - Not for any merit of yours. Yet his influences are not to supersede, but to encourage, our own efforts. Work out your own salvation - Here is our duty. For it is God that worketh in you - Here is our encouragement. And O, what a glorious encouragement, to have the arm of Omnipotence stretched out for our support and our succour!
