Philippians 1:1-10 ▼

1 the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the christians that are at Philippi, to the bishops, and to the deacons.

2 Grace and peace be with you from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 I thank God, for your remembrance of me,

4 and I never pray without praying for you all with joy, for your liberality to the gospel,

5 from the first day to the present time, being persuaded that

6 he who has begun this good work in you will bring it to perfection against the appearance of Christ, it is but just

7 I should have this opinion of you, being sensible you make the dispensation I am under a common concern, with respect to my confinement, and the defence and confirmation of the gospel.

8 for God is my witness, that I love you with a christian tenderness.

9 and the favour I ask of him is this, that your kindness to me may be crown'd with farther improvements in knowledge and all prudence;

10 that being capable to distinguish what is best, you may remain stedfastly sincere until the day of Christ,
