¹⁰ For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

¹² So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

¹³ For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.

¹⁴ Do all things without protests and arguments;

¹⁵ So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

¹⁶ Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

¹⁷ And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

⁸ And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

¹¹ And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;

¹² That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

¹³ But it is our desire, brothers, that you may be certain about those who are sleeping; so that you may have no need for sorrow, as others have who are without hope.

¹⁹ Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

¹⁰ For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

¹⁶ Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

¹⁶ He who has faith and is given baptism will get salvation; but he who has not faith will be judged.

⁹ For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building.

²³ Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;

²⁴ Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

²⁵ For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

¹⁵ Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
