Philippians 1:8-12

God is my witness as to my great affection for every one of you in the caring love of Christ Jesus.

My prayer is that your love may grow more and more in knowledge and understanding,

so that you can work out what's really important. That way you can be genuine and blameless when Christ returns,

filled with the fruits of living right that come through Jesus Christ and give glory and praise to God.

I want you to know, my brothers and sisters, that all I've experienced has worked out to move the good news forward!
