Philippians 1:27-2:2
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 Just one thing: Live your life(A) in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm(B) in one(C) spirit, with one mind,[a] working side by side for the faith(D) that comes from the gospel, 28 not being frightened in any way by your opponents.(E) This is a sign of destruction for them,(F) but of your deliverance(G)—and this is from God. 29 For it has been given to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe(H) in Him, but also to suffer for Him, 30 having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I have.
Christian Humility
2 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love,(I) if any fellowship with the Spirit,(J) if any affection and mercy,(K) 2 fulfill my joy by thinking the same way,(L) having the same love,(M) sharing the same feelings, focusing on one(N) goal.

Philippians 1:27-2:2
Lexham English Bible
Stand Firm for the Gospel
27 Only lead your lives in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent I hear your circumstances[a], that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul contending side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not letting yourselves be intimidated in anything by your opponents, which is a sign of destruction to them, but of your salvation, and this from God, 29 because to you has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on behalf of him, 30 having the same struggle which you saw in me and now hear about in me.
Humility and Unity
2 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 complete my joy, so that you are in agreement[b], having the same love, united in spirit, having one purpose[c].
