Philippians 1:3-10

English Standard Version

Thanksgiving and Prayer

^3 (A)I thank my God ^(B)in all my remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, ^5 (C)because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. ⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began ^(D)a good work in you ^(E)will bring it to completion at ^(F)the day of Jesus Christ. ⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you ^(G)in my heart, for you are all ^(H)partakers with me of grace,^[a] both ^(I)in my imprisonment and in ^(J)the defense and confirmation of the gospel. ⁸ For ^(K)God is my witness, ^(L)how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. ⁹ And it is my prayer that ^(M)your love may abound more and more, ^(N)with knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ so that you may approve what is excellent, ^(O)and so be pure and blameless ^(P)for the day of Christ,
