*
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you ;
*
always in my prayers for you all ,
giving thanks with joy
*
for your contribution for the gospel ,
from the first day till now :
*
having this very confidence ,
that he who has begun a good work among you ,
will continue to perfect it till the day of Jesus Christ .
*
As it is just for me to think this concerning you all ,
because you have me at heart ,
both in my bonds ,
and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel .
You are all partakers of my gratitude ;
*
for God is my witness how vehemently I long after you all ,
with the tender affections of Jesus Christ .
*
And this I pray ,
that your love may yet abound more and more ,
with knowledge and with all discretion ;
*
that you may approve the things that are excellent ;
that you may be sincere and inoffensive till the day of Christ ;
*
filled with the fruit of righteousness ,
which is through Jesus Christ ,
to the glory and praise of God .
