1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons. 2 Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I give thanks to my God, with every remembrance of you, 4 always, in all my prayers, making supplication for all of you with joy, 5 because of your communion in the Gospel of Christ, from the first day even until now. 6 I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus. 7 So then, it is right for me to feel this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, and because, in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my joy. 8 For God is my witness how, within the heart of Jesus Christ, I long for all of you.
