Philippians 1:27-30

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁷ Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel ²⁸ and in no way frightened by those opposing you. For them, this is evidence of their destruction but of your salvation. And this is God’s doing.^{(A) 29} For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ but of suffering for him as well,^{(B) 30} since you are having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.^(C)
