NASB | Philippians 1:28 in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Philippians 1:28 And in no way be alarmed or intimidated [in anything] by your opponents, for such [constancy and fearlessness on your part] is a [clear] sign [a proof and a seal] for them of [their impending] destruction, but [a clear sign] for you of deliverance and salvation, and that too, from God. |
Subject: Who are "your opponents/" |
Bible Note: Hi Mommapbs, Eph. 6, the passage of the armor of God, can show some of those opponents: Consider: Loins girt with truth to withstand lies. The original lie? Sin has no consequence. Breastplate of righteousness to withstand condemnation and doubt. Feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace - we've been remade into Christ's ambassador's - this withstands baggage, the old man, anything or anyone who would hold us back, or say we are not able to be effective. The shield of faith, well, we all know those fiery darts! The helmet of salvation withstands defeat, despair. The sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God - attacks, defends, is the active component. There is more you will be able to add to this, I am certain, as you meditate on this passage, as for me, I'm short on time right now. Love in Christ, Mark |
