New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵so that you will ^[a]prove yourselves to be ^(A)blameless and innocent, ^(B)children of God above reproach in the midst of a ^(C)crooked and perverse generation, among whom you ^[b]^(D)appear as ^[c]lights in the world, ¹⁶holding ^[d]fast the word of life, so that in ^(E)the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not ^(F)run in vain nor ^(G)toil in vain. ¹⁷But even if I am being ^(H)poured out as a drink offering upon ^(I)the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
