Philippians 1:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ I thank God for ·the help you gave me [^Lyour partnership/participation] in ·spreading the Good News [^Lthe Good News/Gospel] from the first day you believed until now. ⁶ God began doing a good work in you, and I am ·sure [confident; persuaded] he will continue it until it is ·finished [completed; perfected] ·when Jesus Christ comes again [^Lon the day of Christ Jesus; ^Cthe final day of judgment and reward].

⁷ And I know that I am right to think like this about all of you, because ·I have you in my [or you have me in your] heart. All of you ·share [are partners/co-sharers] in God’s grace with me while I am in ·prison [chains; ^CPaul is probably writing from house arrest in Rome, about ad 60; see Acts 28:30–31] and while I am defending and ·proving the truth of [confirming] the ·Good News [Gospel].
