Philippians 2 — Context

14

Do all things without grumbling or disputing;

15

so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

16

holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

17

But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

18

You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

19

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

20

For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare.
