Thanksgiving and Prayers of Joy

³ I thank my God at every memory of you,

⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart—for you all are partakers of grace with me, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News.

⁹ Now this I pray, that your love might overflow still more and more in knowledge and depth of discernment,
