Philippians 1:27

Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

For it is only right for me to think this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are fellow partakers with me in this grace.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,

the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Therefore my brothers, loved and longed for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the preaching might be fulfilled, and that all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the lion’s mouth.
