This entry is part [part not set] of 3099 in the series Daily Words for the Christian Life
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.
—Philippians 2:14–15
In verse 15, the Greek word for “above reproach” is ámômos, meaning without spot or without blemish (Rienecker, p. 552). It is the same Greek word used in Ephesians 1:4 and 5:27. The Lord is building His church with precious stones (1 Cor. 3:12).
Adapted from Philippians: That I May Gain Christ,
by Titus Chu; page 124.
