Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Just make sure your talk is fitting for Christ's message. This way, when I visit or not there, I can learn about how you're doing. I want to know that you're all united in spirit and thinking, working together to defend the faith of the gospel.
