15. so that you might be blameless and innocent, children of God in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation. Among them you shine as lights in the world,
16. holding fast to the word of life, so that I may boast in the day of Messiah that I did not run or labor in vain.
17. But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
