Thanksgiving

³ I give thanks to my God upon my every remembrance of you,^{[a] 4} always in my every prayer for all of you, making the prayer with joy, ⁵ because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now, ⁶ convinced of this same thing, that the one who began a good work in you will finish it^[b] until the day of Christ Jesus, ⁷ just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, since^[c] both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you are sharers of grace with me. ⁸ For God is my witness, that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
