I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

KJV 1900King James Version

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
