[3] I thank God upon every remembrance [4] Always in every prayer for all making request with joy, [5] For fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; [6] Being confident very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: [7] Even as meet to think of all, because I have in heart; inasmuch as both in bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, all partakers grace. [8] For God record, how greatly I long after all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. [9] And I pray, that love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; [10] That may approve things that are excellent; that sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; [11] Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. [12] But I would should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; [13] So that bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [14] And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident bonds, bold to speak the word without fear. [15] Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: [16] The one of [17] But the other of [18] What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. [19] For I know that shall turn to salvation through prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, [20] According earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in body, whether it be by life, or by death. [21] For to live is Christ, and to die is gain. [22] But if I live in the flesh, is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. [23] For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and with Christ; which is far better: [24] Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for [25] And confidence, I know that I shall abide and all for furtherance and joy of faith; [26] That rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for by my coming to again.
