(A)I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in (B)my every prayer for you all, in view of your [a](C)participation in the (D)gospel (E)from the first day until now. 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. [b]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 [c](I)imprisonment and in the (J)defense and confirmation of the (K)gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me. For (L)God is my witness, how I long for you all with the [d]affection of (M)Christ Jesus. And this I pray, that (N)your love may abound still more and more in (O)real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may [e](P)approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless [f]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.
