Philippians 1:3-11

3I thank my 1God for my whole remembrance of you,

4constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,

5because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;

6having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:

7as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.

8For 2God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.

9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,

10that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

11being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to 3God's glory and praise.
