Philippians 1:9

6 having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform [it] till a day of Jesus Christ,

7 according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ,

9 and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

10 for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12 And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,
