Only conduct yourselves in a manner ^(C1)worthy of the ^(C2)gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear about you that you are ^(C3)standing firm in ^(C4)one spirit, with one ^(F1)mind ^(C5)striving together for the faith of the gospel;

and in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a ^(C1)sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and this too, from God.

For to you ^(C1)it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to ^(C2)suffer on His behalf,

experiencing the same ^(C1)conflict which ^(C2)you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any ^(C1)fellowship of the Spirit, if any ^(F1)(C2)affection and compassion,

^(C1)make my joy complete ^(F1)by ^(C2)being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
