Philippians 1:8-14 (Epistle)
- 8
- For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
- 9
- And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
- 10
- that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,
- 11
- being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
- 12
- But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,
- 13
- so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;
- 14
- and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
