Living Is Christ

26 that ye may more abundantly rejoice in Jesus Christ through me, by my coming to you again. 27 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 yet hear of you, that ye continue in one spirit, and in one soul laboring as we do to maintain the faith of the gospel, 28 and in nothing fearing your adversaries: which is to them a token of perdition, and to you a sign of salvation, and that of God.
