Philippians 1:1-11

Authorized (King James) Version

1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: ² grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, ⁵ for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; ⁶ 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: ⁷ 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. ⁸ For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. ⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; ¹⁰ that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; ¹¹ being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
