Philippians 1:4-11
The Voice
4 My spirit is lightened with joy whenever I pray for you (and I do constantly) 5 because you have partnered with me to spread the gospel since the first day I preached to you.
6 I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you until the day Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, returns to redeem the world. 7 It is only right that I should feel such admiration for you all—you hold me close to your hearts. And, since we are partners in this great work of grace, you have never failed to stand with me as I have defended and stood firm for the gospel—even from this prison cell. 8 Before God I want you to know how much I long to see you and love you with the affection of the Anointed One, Jesus.
9 Here’s what I pray for you:
Father, may their love grow more and more in wisdom and insight— 10 so they will be able to examine and determine the best from everything else. And on the day of the Anointed One, the day of His judgment, let them stand pure and blameless, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that ripens through Jesus the Anointed.
All this I pray, with a view to God’s ultimate praise and glory.

Philippians 1:4-11
New International Version
4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray(A) with joy 5 because of your partnership(B) in the gospel from the first day(C) until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion(D) until the day of Christ Jesus.(E)
7 It is right(F) for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart(G) and, whether I am in chains(H) or defending(I) and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify(J) how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love(K) may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,(L) 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,(M) 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness(N) that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
