Read in context

Philippians 1:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,

5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

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.

7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.

8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
