Philippians 2:15

Philippians 2:15

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.
