Thanksgiving and Prayer

³ I thank my God every time I remember you.^{(A) 4} In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray^(B) with joy ⁵ because of your partnership^(C) in the gospel from the first day^(D) until now, ⁶ being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion^(E) until the day of Christ Jesus.^(F)

¹⁴ Yet it was good of you to share^(A) in my troubles. ¹⁵ Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days^(B) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,^(C) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;^{(D) 16} for even when I was in Thessalonica,^(E) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.^{(F) 17} Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.^{(G) 18} I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus^(H) the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant^(I) offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. ¹⁹ And my God will meet all your needs^(J) according to the riches of his glory^(K) in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ To our God and Father^(L) be glory for ever and ever. Amen.^(M)
