BE WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST

 

27 Whatever happens, 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 the One Spirit,

Striving Together as One for the Faith of the Gospel

28 Without being Frightened in any way

By those who Oppose you.

This is a Sign to them that they will be Destroyed,

But that you will be Saved--And that by 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 gong through the Same Struggle

You saw I had, and now still have.

2 Therefore if you have any Encouragement

From being United with Christ,

If any Comfort from His Love,

If any Common Sharing in the Spirit,

If any Tenderness and Compassion,

2 Then make my Joy Complete by being Like-Minded

Having the Same Love,

Being One in Spirit and of One Mind.

3 Do Nothing out of Selfish Ambition or Vain Conceit.

Rather, in Humility Value others Above Yourselves,

4 Not looking to your Own Interests

But Each of you to the Interests of the Others.

(Philippians 1:27-30, 2:1-4)
