Philippians 1:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁶ so that, by my presence again with you, your boast might abound in Christ Jesus because of me.^(A)

²⁷ Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel ²⁸ and in no way frightened by those opposing you. For them, this is evidence of their destruction but of your salvation. And this is God’s doing.^(B)
