Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life - in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
凡所行的,都不要發怨言,起爭論,使你們無可指摘,誠實無偽,在這彎曲悖謬的世代作上帝無瑕疵的兒女。你們顯在這世代中,好象明光照耀,將生命的道表明出來,叫我在基督的日子好誇我沒有空跑,也沒有徒勞。 我以你們的信心為供獻的祭物,我若被澆奠在其上,也是喜樂,並且與你們眾人一同喜樂。 你們也要照樣喜樂,並且與我一同喜樂。
