"so that what you can be proud of may increase because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you."
— Philippians 1:26, NET Bible
“That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.”
“that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again. ”
“that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.”
“That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.”
“So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.”
“That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.”

so that what you can be proud of may increase because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you.
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that– whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent– I should hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,
and by not being intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is a sign of their destruction, but of your salvation– a sign which is from God.
For it has been granted to you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him,
