Philippians 1:25-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ Since I am convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and stay by you all, to promote your progress and joy in believing,

²⁶ So that in me you may have abundant cause for exultation and glorying in Christ Jesus, through my coming to you again.

²⁷ Only be sure as citizens so to conduct yourselves [that] your manner of life [will be] worthy of the good news (the Gospel) of Christ, so that whether I [do] come and see you or am absent, I may hear this of you: that you are standing firm in united spirit and purpose, striving side by side and contending with a single mind for the faith of the glad tidings (the Gospel).
