^{14 Ref} Do all things without protests and arguments;

^{15 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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:

^{14 Ref} All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

^{15 Ref} that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

^{16 Ref} the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

^{17 Ref} but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
