Philippians 1:24-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.

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 abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.

²⁷ Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
