Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

Μονον πολιτευεσθε αξιως του ευαγγελιου του Χριστου, δια να ακουσω, ειτε οταν ελθω και σας ιδω ειτε ενω ειμαι απων, την καταστασιν σας, οτι στεκεσθε εις εν πνευμα, συναγωνιζομενοι εν μια ψυχη δια την πιστιν του ευαγγελιου,

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
