 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are

standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News. 

只 要 你 們 行 事 為 人 與 基 督 的 福 音 相 稱 , Pase lo que pase, compórtense de una manera digna

del evangelio de Cristo.
