12 Therefore my *beloved*, /{dearly loved, prized, valued; special relationship}/
as you have always *obeyed*, so now /{to follow instructions; to grant a request}/
not only as in my presence but much more in my absence
*work out* your own *salvation */{achieve, accomplish, do; bring about; prepare someone; overpower, subdue conquer} {deliverance, preservation; salvation}/
with *fear* and *trembling */{fear, alarm, fright; reverence, respect} {trembling, quivering}/
13 for it is God who *works* in you /{work, be active, operate, be effective; work, produce, effect}/
both
to will
and .
to work
for His *good pleasure*/ {good will; favor, good pleasure; wish, desire}/
14 Do all things
Without *grumbling *or *questioning*/ {behind the scenes talk; complaining} {reasoning; opinion; argument, dispute; doubt}/
15 that you may be children of God* *
blameless and innocent
without blemish
in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation
among whom you *shine */{produce light, shine; be visible, appear; be recognized, be apparent, be revealed; to make an impression on the mind}/
as *lights* in the world* */{star; splendor, radiance}/
16 holding fast to the word of life
So that in the day of Christ
I may be proud
That I did not run or labor in vain
17 Even if I am poured out
Like a drink offering
Upon the sacrificial offering of your faith
I am *glad* and *rejoice */{be glad, cheerful; happy greeting} {experience joy in conjunction with someone else; congratulate}/
With you all
18 Likewise you also should be *glad *and *rejoice* with me.
