Philippians 1:4-9

4Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 5For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 6Being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:1

7Even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.23 8For God is my witness, how greatly I long after you all in the affection of Jesus Christ.

9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;4
