What happened to verse thirteen (Philippians 2:13), Resty, the one in which Paul clearly states that it is God in the Philippians doing the works?

If you really read my post you would have understood that the LDS believe in grace.

As the 13th verese shows, it is God in them doing the work for His own good pleasure. If you study the scriptures in their context, you avoid many doctrinal or canon errors.

13 for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

I recieved that understanding in my Patriarcal Blessing.

You must never doubt your own ability to do these things. You must have confidence that our Heavenly Father will give you all the powers you need to serve Him. You must recognize that there are forces outside your self, powers of heaven that are available to you through this gospel.(the holy Spirit and the Lord angels)

The enabling power come through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

These blessing from the Lord come through covenants I know the Lord is doing his part and also expects man to also to his part of the contract for it to be honored.
