Philippians 1:3-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
I Thank God For Your Partnership With Me In The Gospel
3 I am giving-thanks to my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in my every petition for you all making the petition with joy 5 on-the-basis-of your partnership[a] for the good-news from the first day until the present, 6 being confident-of this very thing: that the One having begun a good work in you will perfect[b] it until the day of Christ— 7 just as it is right for me to think this about you all because of my having you[c] in my heart, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation[d] of the good-news, you all being my co-partners[e] of grace. 8 For God is my witness how I am yearning-for you all with the deep-feelings[f] of Christ Jesus.
May Your Love Abound Still More In Knowledge Leading To Holiness
9 And I am praying this: that your love may be abounding still more and more in knowledge and all perception[g] 10 so that you may be approving the things mattering[h], in-order-that[i] you might be pure and blameless[j] for[k] 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.
