Philippians 1:27-31

Just be sure that the way you live your lives corresponds to the good news of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or not I can get to hear how you're doing—that you stand firm in full agreement with one another, spiritually united as you work together for the trusting faith of the good news.

Don't let your enemies scare you. By being brave you will demonstrate to them that they will be lost, but that God himself will save you.

For you have been given the privilege not only of trusting in Jesus, but suffering for him as well.

You're experiencing the same struggle you saw me having—a struggle I still have, as you now know.
