Philippians 1:7-13

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 8partakers of grace with me. 8For 9God is my witness, how I long for you all with the 10affection of 11Christ Jesus. 9And this I pray, that 12your love may overflow still more and more in 13real knowledge and all discernment, 10so that you may 14 15discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for 16the day of Christ; 11having been filled with the 17fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.

12Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my circumstances 18have turned out for the greater progress of the 19gospel, 13so that my 20 21imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the 22praetorian guard and to 23everyone else,
