Philippians 1:1-14

Philippians 1:1-14      NASB

 1 Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers
and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always offering
prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, 5 in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 For I am confident of
this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. 7 For it is only right for me to feel this way
about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers
of grace with me. 8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve the things that are
excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through
Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 12 Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of
the gospel, 13 so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else, 14
and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.
