MNT(i)
27 Only do lead lives worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come to see you or hear reports concerning you in my absence, I may know that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul, enlisted in a common struggle for the faith of the gospel,
28 and in no way terrorized by its enemies. For you fearlessness is a clear indication of coming ruin for them, but of salvation for you at the hands of God.
29 For it has been granted you in Christ's behalf, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake,
30 while you wage the same conflict which you once saw in me, and now hear that I maintain.
