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

27 Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News. 28 Never for a moment quail before your antagonists. Your fearlessness will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation--a token coming from God. 29 For you have had the privilege granted you on behalf of Christ--not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf; 30 maintaining, as you do, the same kind of conflict that you once saw in me and which you still hear that I am engaged in.
