I thanke my God vpon euery remembrance of you,

Alwayes in euery prayer of mine for you all making request, with ioy

For your felowship in the Gospel from the first day vntill now;

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you, will performe it vntil the day of Iesus Christ:

Euen as it is meete for mee to thinke this of you all, because I haue you in my heart, in as much as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Iesus Christ.

And this I pray, that your loue may abound yet more & more in knowledge, and in all iudgment.

That ye may approue things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere, and without offence till the day of Christ.

Being filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and praise of God.
