I thank my God In all my remembrance of you Always in every prayer of mine for you All making my prayer with joy Because of your partnership in The gospel from the first day until now And I am sure of this That he who began a good work in you Will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ It is right for me To feel this way about you all Because I hold you in my heart For you are all partakers with me of grace Both in my imprisonment And in the defense and confirmation of the gospel For God is my witness How I yearn for you all with The affection of Christ Jesus And it is my prayer that your love May abound more and more With knowledge and all discernment So that you may approve what is excellent And so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ Filled with the fruit of righteousness That comes through Jesus Christ To the glory and praise of God
