Philippians 2:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ as you hold fast tenaciously to the word of life. Then I will have cause to boast of you on the day of Christ that I did not run in vain or labor to no purpose.

¹⁷ But even if my blood is to be poured out as a libation upon the sacrifice and the offering of your faith, I rejoice, and I share my joy with all of you. ¹⁸ In the same way, you too must rejoice and share your joy with me.
