Though Preaching

12) But I want you to know brethren, that the things which happened to me have actully turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13) so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14) and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident in my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15) Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will: 16) The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, no sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17) but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 180 What then? Only that in every way, Whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice.

 Philippians 2:12--18

Through Life Or Death

19) For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20) according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness , as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life of by death. 21) For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22) But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor, yet what I will choose I cannot tell. 23) For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far 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 your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.

Philippians 1:19-26

Through Sufferung

27) Onlyl et 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, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28) and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. 29) For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, 30) having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

Your teachings are sweeter than honey.  They give me understanding and make me hate all lies. Your word is a lamp that gives light wherever I walk.

Psalms 119: 103 - 105
