Philippians 1:27-30

Gospel Partnership and Joyful Witness in Christ

From thanksgiving for gospel partnership, to confidence in God's completing work, to joy over gospel advance through suffering, to a summons to live publicly as citizens worthy of Christ's gospel.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

27 Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel,

28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.

29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
