Philippians 1:3-11
Legacy Standard Bible
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 because of your [a](C)fellowship 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 in you will perfect it until (F)the day of Christ Jesus. 7 [b]For (G)it is only right for me to think this way about you all, because I (H)have you in my heart, since both in my (I)chains and in the (J)defense and confirmation of the (K)gospel, you all are fellow partakers with me in this grace. 8 For (L)God is my witness, how I long for you all with the [c]affection of (M)Christ Jesus. 9 And this I pray, that (N)your love may abound still more and more in (O)full knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may [d](P)approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and without fault [e]until (Q)the day of Christ, 11 having been filled with the (R)fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Thanksgiving
3 I give thanks to my God upon my every remembrance of you,[a] 4 always in my every prayer for all of you, making the prayer with joy, 5 because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 convinced of this same thing, that the one who began a good work in you will finish it[b] until the day of Christ Jesus, 7 just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, since[c] both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you are sharers of grace with me. 8 For God is my witness, that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Prayer for Spiritual Maturity
9 And this I pray: that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is superior, in order that you may be sincere and blameless in[d] the day of Christ, 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
