Philippians 1:3-8

Thanksgiving and Prayer

³ _e I thank my God _f in all my remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, ⁵ _g because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. ⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began _h a good work in you _i will bring it to completion at _j the day of Jesus Christ. ⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you _k in my heart, for you are all _l partakers with me of grace, ₁ both _m in my imprisonment and in _n the defense and confirmation of the gospel. ⁸ For _o God is my witness, _p how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
