    12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

    14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

  • Personal Study/Reflection
  • Read the passage slowly and pause to linger over notable words and phrases. Ask questions to explore the Bible passage for truths, challenges, or lessons about life, the gospel, or Christian life. As you answer your questions, engage in personal reflection and respond to how God is using the passage to speak to you today.  (You can refer to the Inductive Bible Study guidelines at the top of this page.)
