14 Do everything without grumbling  * and arguing,  *15 so that you may be blameless  * and pure,  * children of God who are faultless  * in a crooked  * and perverted  * generation,  * among whom you shine like stars in the world, 16 by holding firm to the word  * of life. Then I can boast  * in the day of Christ  * that I didn’t run or labor for nothing.
