10So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,
11And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12So 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;
13For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.
15So 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,
16Offering 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.
