Philippians 1:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ You have a special place in my heart. So it’s right for me to think this way about all of you. All of you are my partners. Together we share God’s favor,^[a] whether I’m in prison or defending and confirming the truth of the Good News. ⁸ God is my witness that, with all the compassion of Christ Jesus, I long ⌞to see⌟ every one of you.

⁹ I pray that your love will keep on growing because of your knowledge and insight.
