Philippians 1:1-8 ▼

1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and ministers:

2 grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you,

4 praying always with joy in my every prayer for all of you,

5 because of your partnership for the gospel from the first day until now.

6 I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

7 It is right that I should think this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, you who are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.

8 For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
