Philippians 1:5, 12, 16, 27

I thank God for the help you gave me while I preached the Good News—help you gave from the first day you believed until now.

I want you brothers and sisters to know that what has happened to me has helped to spread the Good News.

They preach because they have love, and they know that God gave me the work of defending the Good News.

Only one thing concerns me: Be sure that you live in a way that brings honor to the Good News of Christ. Then whether I come and visit you or am away from you, I will hear that you are standing strong with one purpose, that you work together as one for the faith of the Good News
