Philippians 1:6, and it is one of the most frequently quoted verses in the corpus - about thirty lectures - because it does two jobs at once. It locates the work inside: he who began a good work in you, not on the outside, in you. And it guarantees the finish without asking anything of the one it is happening to, which is why it travels with salvation by grace (M586) and with the refusal of merit (M997): the one who began it is the one who will complete it. Neville's own emphasis falls on the day. That day is not at the end of history, it is within history - it happens tonight, and it comes at the moment you least expect it, when the scaffolding comes down and the building is revealed. He uses it to reinterpret whatever horror the world is presenting at the time, and at 2239, four days after the assassination of a president he never names, he uses it exactly so: all this confusion in the world, that's all the outer picture, and he who began a good work in you is bringing it to completion.
