But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
—Philippians 2:17–18
The Philippians had become mutual partakers of grace with Paul, and this constituted them with all that Christ is and has accomplished.
