This would be 'self 'focused. But the chapter is about selflessness.

The whole point is ' serving others ' , looking our for the needs of others and furtherance of the gospel . Whilst other places in the Nt are about sanctification, I don't believe that's the focus of philippians. Its about selflessness not self focusing.

I quoted and explained the verse . In context.

As I predicted. Acts 2.38 has some, very confused.

Acts 2.38 is not a prescription for all time . Its what they had to do . Israel.

I believe its fine as it written. The Jews Peter is addressing are told to be water baptized so that they may receive the Holy Spirit . To their Children and to all JEWS who are afar off . This is chapter 2 of a transitional book . Just like Acts 2 .38 shouldn't be treated as a prescription...

For anyone that interprets this verse to mean " work for your salvation " or anything else that is some how focuses on sanctification misses the entire point of the letter . Its not about self or focusing on your own walk , making sure your working out , or about not sinning ect . Look at the...

The context is " furthering the Gospel " Paul's salvation 'worked out 'for the furtherance of the Gospel. By his example coupled ultimately with Jesus example of humbling himself, to his death on the cross . Even under persecution, this to can work out for the furthering of the Gospel. 'work...

correctly ' apportion ' .

Why do you think it says this though? 38¶Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
