Philippians 1:1-8 ▼

1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

2 Grace and peace unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 I thank my God for every mention of you,

4 always in all my prayer with joy making supplication,

5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first clay until now;

6 having confidence as to this same thing, that the one having begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Jesus Christ:

7 as it is righteous for me to think in behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, that you are all my fellow-partakers of the grace.

8 For God is my witness, how I long after you in the affections of Jesus Christ.
