Philippians 1:27-30 - Stand Firm For The Gospel

27 only conduct yourselves in a manner becoming the gospel of Christ, that whether I come to see you, or else am absent, I may have this account of you, that you are stedfastly of the same resolution, and unanimously contend for the faith of the gospel, 28 without being under any the least apprehension from your adversaries: this will be to them a sign of their ruin, and to you of salvation, by the divine appointment. 29 for it is a favour bestowed upon you, that you not only believe on Christ, but suffer also for his sake, 30 being engag'd in the same conflict, in which you saw I was formerly, and hear that I am at present engag'd.
