  Philippians 2:12–16

  **Show the text**

  12 So 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.

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

  14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,

  15 that 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,

  16 holding 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.

- Gospel

  Luke 10:22–24

  **Show the text**

  22 Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

  23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

  24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
