«Do all things without murmurings and disputings: / That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; / Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.»
