‏ Philippians 2:14

Practical Religion.

In these verses, Paul gives advice on how Christians should live so that their faith is attractive to others. He encourages the Philippians to obey God cheerfully, to live at peace with each other, and to shine as good examples in a world that often rejects God. Paul also shares his hope that their faithfulness will be his joy, even if he must suffer for their sake.

v. 14: Paul tells them, Do all things without murmurings and disputings (Philippians 2:14 a). This means Christians should do their duties without complaining or arguing. Obeying God in a happy and peaceful way makes the Christian life attractive and shows that serving God is rewarding.
