Philippians 1:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ I can do this because of the partnership we’ve had with you in the Good News from the first day ⌞you believed⌟ until now. ⁶ I’m convinced that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it through to completion on the day of Christ Jesus. ⁷ You have a special place in my heart. So it’s right for me to think this way about all of you. All of you are my partners. Together we share God’s favor,^[a] whether I’m in prison or defending and confirming the truth of the Good News.
