27 Only, do lead a life that is worthy of the gospel of Christ. Whether I come and see you or only hear of you in absence, let me know you are standing firm in a common spirit, fighting side by side like one man for the faith of the gospel.
28 Never be scared for a second by your opponents; your fearlessness is a clear omen of ruin for them and of your own salvation — at the hands of God.
29 For on behalf of Christ you have the favour of suffering no less than of believing in him,
30 by waging the same conflict that, as once you saw and now you hear, I wage myself.
