Philippians 1:28

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,

30 ^ahaving the same conflict ^bwhich you saw in me and now hear is in me.

Philippians 1:28

In nothing terrified by your adversaries - So it appears that the Church at Philippi was then under persecution.

Which is to them - ̔ . Some very judicious critics consider ̔ as referring to , the faith of the Gospel, which they, the heathen, considered to be a token of perdition to all them who embraced it; but, as the apostle says, it was to them the Philippians, on the contrary, the most evident token of salvation; for, having embraced the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, they were incontestably in the way to eternal blessedness.
