Philippians 1:1–12

*Paul and aTimotheus, aathe servants of Jesus Christ, to all bthe saints in Christ Jesus which are at cPhilippi, with the dbishops and edeacons: 2 fGrace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 gI thank my God upon every ||remembrance of you, 4 Always in every prayer of mine hfor you all making request with joy, 5 iFor your fellowship in the gospel jfrom the first day until now; 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath kbegun la good work in you ||will mperform it nuntil the day of Jesus Christ: 7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because ||I have you oin my heart; inasmuch as both pin my qbonds, and in rthe defence and sconfirmation of the gospel, tye all are ||partakers of my grace. 8 For uGod is my record, how greatly wI long after you all in xthe bowels of Jesus Christ. 9 And this I pray, that yyour love may abound yet more and more in zknowledge and in all ||judgment; 10 aThat ye may ||approve things that ||are excellent; that ye may be bsincere and cwithout offence dtill the day of Christ; 11 Being filled with ethe fruits of righteousness, fwhich are by Jesus Christ, gunto the glory and praise of God.

12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the hfurtherance of the gospel;
