Philippians 1:25-27

25Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

26so that your rejoicing for me may overflow in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

27Only [be sure to] lead your lives in a manner [that will be] worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I do come and see you or remain absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit [and one purpose], with one mind striving side by side [as if in combat] for the faith of the gospel.
