Philippians 2:16

16as 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.

16holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

16holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

16holding out and offering to everyone the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to rejoice greatly because I did not run [my race] in vain nor labor without result.

16as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

16You will shine as you hold on tight to the word of life. Then I will be able to boast about you on the day Christ returns. I can be happy that I didn’t run or work for nothing.
