Philippians 1:1-8 ▼

1 Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and servants:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

3 I give thanks to my God on all the remembrance of you,

4 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,

5 for your contribution to the good news from the first day until now,

6 having been confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you, will complete [it] until [the] day of Jesus Christ,

7 according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defense and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all with [the] yearnings of Jesus Christ,
