Philippians 1:25-30

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

25 Since I'm convinced of this, I know that I will continue to live and be with all of you. This will help you to grow and be joyful in your faith.

26 So by coming to you again, I want to give you even more reason to have pride in Christ Jesus with me.

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.

New International Version NIV

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

26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel

28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.

29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
