Philippians 1:6-12

English Standard Version

⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began ^(A)a good work in you ^(B)will bring it to completion at ^(C)the day of Jesus Christ. ⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you ^(D)in my heart, for you are all ^(E)partakers with me of grace,^[a] both ^(F)in my imprisonment and in ^(G)the defense and confirmation of the gospel. ⁸ For ^(H)God is my witness, ^(I)how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. ⁹ And it is my prayer that ^(J)your love may abound more and more, ^(K)with knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ so that you may approve what is excellent, ^(L)and so be pure and blameless ^(M)for the day of Christ, ¹¹ filled ^(N)with the fruit of righteousness that comes ^(O)through Jesus Christ, ^(P)to the glory and praise of God.
