Striving and Suffering for Christ

27 Only (A)let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, (B)with one mind (C)striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but [a]to you of salvation, and that from God. 29 For to you (D)it has been granted on behalf of Christ, (E)not only to believe in Him, but also to (F)suffer for His sake, 30 (G)having the same conflict (H)which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

Unity Through Humility

Therefore if there is any [b]consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any (I)affection and mercy, (J)fulfill my joy (K)by being like-minded, having the same love, being of (L)one accord, of one mind. (M)Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but (N)in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. (O)Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of (P)others.
