1. Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ,To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
2. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. I thank my God for every reminder of you.
4. In every prayer of mine for you all, I have always made requests with joy,
5. due to your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.
6. I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7. It is right for me to think this of you all because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonments and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are fellow partakers of my grace.
8. For God is my witness, how I long after you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
