Philippians 1:5-9

in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work among you will complete it by the day of Christ Jesus.

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

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

And this I pray, that your love may overflow still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,
