Philippians 1:29
Verse 29 of 30. The 1st of 4 chapters in Philippians, in The Letters of Paul.
25Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
28and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
