Compare all
23 1For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a adesire to depart and be with Christ, which is bfar better.  
24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,
26 that ayour rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.  

Striving and Suffering for Christ

27 Only alet 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, bwith one mind cstriving 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, but1 to you of salvation, and that from God.  
29 For to you ait has been granted on behalf of Christ, bnot only to believe in Him, but also to csuffer for His sake,

Philippians 1:25

Having this confidence, I know that I shall abide - Convinced that it is necessary that I should live longer, for the spreading and defense of the Gospel, I am persuaded that I shall now be liberated. This was in fact the case, for, after having been two years in bonds at Rome, he was released.

For your furtherance - In the way of righteousness.

And joy of faith - And happiness in that way. The farther a man proceeds in the way of truth, the stronger his faith will be; and the stronger his faith, the greater his joy or happiness.
