Indeed, it is right(A) for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart,[a] and you are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment(B) and in the defense(C) and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness,(D) how deeply I miss all of you(E) with the affection of Christ Jesus. And I pray this: that your love(F) will keep on growing(G) in knowledge and every kind of discernment,(H) 10 so that you may approve the things that are superior(I) and may be pure(J) and blameless(K) in the day of Christ,(L) 11 filled with the fruit(M) of righteousness(N) that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory(O) and praise of God.
