Philippians 1:29

29 God has given you the privilege not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him.

Philippians 1:29 In-Context

27 Live as citizens who reflect the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come to see you or whether I stay away, I'll hear all about you. I'll hear that you are firmly united in spirit, united in fighting for the faith that the Good News brings.
28 So don't let your opponents intimidate you in any way. This is God's way of showing them that they will be destroyed and that you will be saved.
29 God has given you the privilege not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him.
30 You are involved in the same struggle that you saw me having. Now you hear that I'm still involved in it.
