Philippians 1:7-11

7 1For 2it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I 3have you in my heart, since both in my 4 5imprisonment and in the 6defense and confirmation of the 7gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me. 8For 8God is my witness, how I long for you all with the 9affection of 10Christ Jesus. 9And this I pray, that 11your love may abound still more and more in 12real knowledge and all discernment, 10so that you may 13 14approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless 15until 16the day of Christ; 11having been filled with the 17fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
