Philippians 1:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 That ye may more abundantly rejoice in JESUS CHRIST for me, by my coming to you again.
27 [a]Only let your conversation be as it becometh the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your matters, that ye [b]continue in one spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel.
28 [c]And in nothing fear your adversaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of salvation, and that of God.

- Philippians 1:27 Having set down those things before, in manner of a Preface, he descendeth now to exhortations, warning them first of all, to consent both in doctrine and mind, and afterward, that being thus knit together with those common bands, they continue through the strength of faith to bear all adversity in such sort, that they admit nothing unworthy the profession of the Gospel.
- Philippians 1:27 The word signifieth, to stand fast, and it is proper to wrestlers, that stand fast, and shrink not a foot.
- Philippians 1:28 We ought not to be discouraged, but rather encouraged by the persecutions which the enemies of the Gospel imagine and practice against us: seeing that they are certain witnesses from God himself, both of our salvation, and of the destruction of the wicked.
