26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

27 Only let your conduct be suitable for the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
