11. and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12. So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
13. for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
14. Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
15. that ye may be blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,
16. holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labour in vain.
17. Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:
18. and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
19. But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20. For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.
21. For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.
