²⁷ Only conduct yourselves 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 you that you are ^(C)standing firm in ^(D)one spirit, with one ^[a]mind ^(E)striving together for the faith of the gospel; ²⁸ and in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a ^(F)sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and this 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 on His behalf, ³⁰ experiencing the same ^(I)conflict which ^(J)you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Be like Christ

2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any ^(K)fellowship of the Spirit, if any ^[b](L)affection and compassion, ^2 (M)make my joy complete ^[c]by ^(N)being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
