Footnotes

  1. Philippians 1:1 The word deacons refers here to Christians designated to serve with the overseers/elders of the church in a variety of ways; similarly in Romans 16:1 and 1 Tim. 3:8,12.

基督耶稣的仆人保罗提摩太,写信给凡住腓立比,在基督耶稣里的众圣徒和诸位监督、诸位执事。 愿恩惠、平安从神我们的父并主耶稣基督归于你们!

为门徒祈求感谢

我每逢想念你们,就感谢我的神; 每逢为你们众人祈求的时候,常是欢欢喜喜地祈求。 因为从头一天直到如今,你们是同心合意地兴旺福音。 我深信那在你们心里动了善工的必成全这工,直到耶稣基督的日子。
