Thanksgiving and Prayer

^3 (B)I thank my God ^(C)in all my remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, ^5 (D)because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. ⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began ^(E)a good work in you ^(F)will bring it to completion at ^(G)the day of Jesus Christ. ⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you ^(H)in my heart, for you are all ^(I)partakers with me of grace,^[a] both ^(J)in my imprisonment and in ^(K)the defense and confirmation of the gospel. ⁸ For ^(L)God is my witness, ^(M)how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. ⁹ And it is my prayer that ^(N)your love may abound more and more, ^(O)with knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ so that you may approve what is excellent, ^(P)and so be pure and blameless ^(Q)for the day of Christ, ¹¹ filled ^(R)with the fruit of righteousness that comes ^(S)through Jesus Christ, ^(T)to the glory and praise of God.
