14 Haced todo sin murmuraciones y contiendas,
15 Para que seáis irreprensibles y sencillos, hijos de Dios sin culpa en medio de la nación maligna y perversa, entre los cuales resplandecéis como luminares en el mundo;
16 Reteniendo la palabra de vida para que yo pueda gloriarme en el día de Cristo, que no he corrido en vano, ni trabajado en vano.
17 Y aun si soy derramado [en libación] sobre el sacrificio y servicio de vuestra fe, me gozo y congratulo por todos vosotros.
18 Y asimismo gozaos también vosotros, y regocijaos conmigo.
