Philippians 2:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 [a]That ye may be blameless, and pure, and the sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a naughty and crooked nation, among whom ye shine as (A)lights in the world,
16 Holding forth the [b]word of life, [c]that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither have labored in vain.
17 Yea, and though I be offered up upon the [d]sacrifice, and service of your faith, I am glad, and rejoice with you all.
