24and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
25and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
26that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.
27Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
28and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
29because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;
30the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
