Phi 1:28 and in nothynge fearinge youre adversaries: which is to them a token of perdicion and to you of salvacion and that of God.
Phi 1:29 For vnto you it is geven that not only ye shulde beleve on Christ: but also suffre for his sake
Phi 1:30 and have eve the same fight which ye sawe me have and now heare of me.
