2. The Epistle to the Philippians
Let Your Conduct be Worthy of Christ
Why would Paul rejoice?
How would Paul be delivered?
What would result from his deliverance?

Because he would be delivered from the testing.
Through prayer and the Spirit’s supply.

Because it was more helpful for other believers.
