Philippians 1:25-30
-
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
-
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
-
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
-
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
-
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
-
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
