Philippians 1:3-8 - Thanksgiving
3 Every recollection that I have of you is a cause of thankfulness to God, 4 Always, in every prayer that I offer for you all--my prayers are full of joy-- 5 Because of the share that you have had in spreading the Good News, from the first day that you received it until now. 6 For of this I am confident, that he who began a good work in you will complete it in readiness for the Day of Jesus Christ. 7 And, indeed, I am justified in feeling thus about you all; because you have a warm place in my heart--you who all, both in my imprisonment and in the work of defending and establishing the Good News, shared my privilege with me. 8 God will bear me witness how I yearn over you all with the tenderness of Christ Jesus.
