Philippians 2:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Tell people the true message that can give them life with God. Then I will know that my work among you had good results. Because of that, I will be very happy on the day when Christ returns.

¹⁷ You believe in Christ, and you are his servants. That is like you are offering yourselves as a sacrifice to God. Perhaps I will soon have to die. Then my blood would be like drink that I am pouring on your sacrifice, to please God. So, if I have to die now, I will be happy. And we should all be happy together. ¹⁸ Yes, it is right that you should be happy, and I will also be happy with you.
