"my dear fellow believers"
|
|
|
|
# in my presence

"when I am there with you"
|
|
|
|
# in my absence
|
|
|
|
"when I am not there with you"
|
|
|
|
# work out your own salvation
|
|
|
|
"continue obeying God"
|
|
|
|
# with fear and trembling
|
|
|
|
The words "fear" and "trembling" mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them to emphasize reverence before God. AT: "trembling with fear" or "with deep reverence" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

# both to will and to work

"God acts so that you will desire to obey him and then so that you will obey him" |
