For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him

For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake

For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.

For it has been granted to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe  in him, but also to suffer for him

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake

For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake

Meanwhile, live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ. Let nothing in your conduct hang on whether I come or not. Your conduct must be the same whether I show up to see things for myself or hear of it from a distance. Stand united, singular in vision, contending for people’s trust in the Message, the good news, not flinching or dodging in the slightest before the opposition. Your courage and unity will show them what they’re up against: defeat for them, victory for you—and both because of God. There’s far more to this life than trusting in Christ. There’s also suffering for him. And the suffering is as much a gift as the trusting. You’re involved in the same kind of struggle you saw me go through, on which you are now getting an updated report in this letter.

For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf

For you have been granted [the privilege] for Christ’s sake, not only to believe and confidently trust in Him, but also to suffer for His sake

For it has been granted to you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him
