Philippians 1:4-9

4always offering prayer with joy in 1my every prayer for you all,

5in view of your 2 3participation in the 4gospel 5from the first day until now.

6For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until 6the day of Christ Jesus.

7 7For 8it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I 9have you in my heart, since both in my 10 11imprisonment and in the 12defense and confirmation of the 13gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

8For 14God is my witness, how I long for you all with the 15affection of 16Christ Jesus.

9And this I pray, that 17your love may abound still more and more in 18real knowledge and all discernment,
