Context of Philippians 1:26

24yet for your sake, to remain in the body is more necessary. 25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith— so that your confidence in Messiah Yeshua might overflow because of me through my coming to you again. 27Only live your lives in a manner worthy of the Good News of the Messiah. Then, whether I come and see you or I am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit—striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the Good News 28and not being frightened in any way by your opponents. For them this is a sign of destruction, but for you salvation—and that from God.
