Philippians 1:3-11
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, 11 filled (Q)with the fruit of righteousness that comes (R)through Jesus Christ, (S)to the glory and praise of God.

3 (A)I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always offering prayer with joy in (B)my every prayer for you all, 5 in view of your [a](C)participation in the (D)gospel (E)from the first day until now. 6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work [b]among you will complete it [c]by (F)the day of Christ Jesus. 7 [d]For (G)it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I (H)have you in my heart, since both in my [e](I)imprisonment and in the (J)defense and confirmation of the (K)gospel, you all are [f]partakers of grace with me. 8 For (L)God is my witness, how I long for you all with the [g]affection of (M)Christ Jesus. 9 And this I pray, that (N)your love may overflow still more and more in (O)real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may [h](P)discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for (Q)the day of Christ; 11 having been filled with the (R)fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.
