Philippians 2:17

Holding Fast To The Word Of Life

¹⁶ Hold firmly to the message of life. Then I can boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run or labor for nothing. ¹⁷ But even if I am poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. ¹⁸ In the same way you should also be glad and rejoice with me.
