Philippians 2:14-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

14 Do everything without grumbling or questioning,(A) 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,[a] among whom you shine like lights in the world,(B) 16 as you hold on to the word of life, so that my boast for the day of Christ may be that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.(C) 17 But, even if I am poured out as a libation[b] upon the sacrificial service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with all of you.(D) 18 In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.(E)

Philippians 2:14-18
New International Version

14 Do everything without grumbling(A) or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless(B) and pure, “children of God(C) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[a](D) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(E) that I did not run(F) or labor in vain.(G) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(H) on the sacrifice(I) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(J) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
