Philippians 2:14-16

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." (Deuteronomy 32:5) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. 

Do everything without grumbling or arguing 
1 Corinthians 10:10  And do not grumble as some of them (those God delivered out of Egypt) did--and were killed by the destroying angel. 
1 Peter 4:9  Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

so that you may become blameless and pure 
1 Thessalonians 3:13  May he (the Lord) strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

"children of God" 
Matthew 5:44-45  "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
Matthew 5:48  "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Ephesians 5:1  Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children ...

"without fault in a warped and crooked generation" 
Acts 2:40  With many other words he (Peter) warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."

and then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ 
1 Corinthians 1:8  He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

that I did not run 
1 Corinthians 9:24  Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

or labor in vain 
1 Thessalonians 2:19-20  For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
