Readings for Lent and Easter

²⁷ Only conduct yourselves as it becomes the Gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your matters that you continue in one spirit and in one mind, striving together for the faith of the Gospel.

²⁸ And be frightened in nothing by your adversaries (which is to them a proof of destruction - but to you of salvation - and this from God!).

²⁹ For to you it is given concerning Christ that not only should you believe in Him, but also to suffer concerning Him,

³⁰ having the same fight which you saw in me and now hear of in me.
