2 Thessalonians 1:6
1:6 For it is right
for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
Philippians 1:28
1:28 and by not being intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is
a sign of their
destruction, but of your salvation – a sign which
is from God.
Philippians 1:1
Salutation
1:1 From Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and deacons.
Philippians 4:14-18
4:14 Nevertheless, you did well to share with me in my trouble.
4:15 And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone.
4:16 For even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent something for my need.
4:17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift. Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.
4:18 For I have received everything, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus what you sent – a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God.
