Philippians 1:8

Thanksgiving

⁷ And I am justified in having this confidence about you all, because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, I have you in my heart, sharers as you all are in the same grace as myself. ⁸ For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender Christian affection. ⁹ And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,
