The Gospel Is Preached

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:20 - According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

To Live Is Christ

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:23 - For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:28 - And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:29 - For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:30 - Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
