Philippians 1:27-2:2
Legacy Standard Bible
27 Only [a]live your lives in a manner (A)worthy of the (B)gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear about your circumstances, that you are (C)standing firm in (D)one spirit, with one [b]mind (E)contending together for the faith of the gospel, 28 in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a (F)sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God. 29 For to you (G)it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to (H)suffer for His sake, 30 having the same (I)struggle which (J)you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
Christ’s Humility and Exaltation
2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any (K)fellowship of the Spirit, if any [c](L)affection and compassion, 2 (M)fulfill my joy, that (N)you think the same way, by maintaining the same love, being united in spirit, thinking on one purpose,

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].
