²⁷ Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ,

so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs,

that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

If conduct is well … appearance is right

the gospel of Christ … so glorified

Stand fast in one Spirit … the purpose of Life

in baptism and call … removed from all strife

One-ness in spirit … one-ness there off

united together in call

No thoughts or feelings will now take control

just serve the Lord Jesus, our All

Led by the Spirit ... a gift from the Holy

differences in emotions are restrained

Discarded are thoughts undermining our one-ness

and the flesh will be justly constrained
