I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,

Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

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

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch 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 witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

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

And this I pray, that your love may overflow still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

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

so that you may discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ;

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

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
