1:2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
1:4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
1:5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
1:7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.
1:8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
1:9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
1:10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,
1:11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.
