Philippians 2:17

for me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

as sorrowful but always rejoicing, as poor but making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

So I will most gladly spend and be fully spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and I fill up what is lacking of Christ’s afflictions in my flesh, on behalf of His body, which is the church,

so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

By this we have known love, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
