  ¹²So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

  ¹³For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

  ¹⁴Do all things without complaining and arguing,

  ¹⁵that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

  ¹⁶holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

  ¹⁸As he was praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

  ¹⁹They answered, “ ‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

  ²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

  ²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

  ²²saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
