Philippians 1:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ ·Only one thing concerns me [or Whatever happens; ^LOnly]: Be sure that you ·live [conduct yourselves; live as citizens] in a way that ·brings honor to [is worthy of] the ·Good News [Gospel] of Christ. ·Then [^L…so that] whether I come and ·visit [see] you or am away from you, I will hear that you are standing strong ·with one purpose [with one spirit; or in the one Spirit], that you work together ·as one [with one mind/soul] for the faith ·of [or that is; or in] the ·Good News [Gospel], ²⁸ and that you are not ·frightened [intimidated] in any way by ·those who are against you [your opponents]. All of this is ·proof [evidence; a sign] that ·your enemies [they] will be destroyed but that you will be saved. And ·this salvation [or this proof/evidence/sign; ^Lthis] is from God. ²⁹ ·God gave you the honor [^LFor it has been granted/given to you] not only of believing in Christ but also of suffering for him.
