^(C1)I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

always offering prayer with joy in ^(C1)my every prayer for you all,

in view of your ^(F1)(C1)participation in the ^(C2)gospel ^(C3)from the first day until now.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work ^(F1)among you will complete it ^(F2)by ^(C1)the day of Christ Jesus.

^(F1)For ^(C1)it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I ^(C2)have you in my heart, since both in my ^(F2)(C3)imprisonment and in the ^(C4)defense and confirmation of the ^(C5)gospel, you all are ^(F3)partakers of grace with me.

For ^(C1)God is my witness, how I long for you all with the ^(F1)affection of ^(C2)Christ Jesus.

And this I pray, that ^(C1)your love may overflow still more and more in ^(C2)real knowledge and all discernment,

so that you may ^(F1)(C1)discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for ^(C2)the day of Christ;

having been filled with the ^(C1)fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.
