Phl 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.
Remind me of the verse immediately preceding this one, you know, the verse that explains the γαρ.

forcing scripture to fit ones theology is very cultish

I'll try to remember that.

This is getting tiresome. I simply cannot see how an attempt to present what the Scriptures actually say would quote Phil 2;13 without 2:12 or the other way around. Unless one were forcing the Scriptures to fit one's theology, which, I am told, is cultic.

Indeed it is tiresome...

The Greek word translated “work out” means “to perform, accomplish, achieve, or complete.” ...it does not mean to work to be saved...it does not say work to be saved..it says work out YOUR SALVATION ..an accomplished fact
