6 Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
7 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that, in my bands and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray: That your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all understanding:
10 That you may approve the better things: that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ:
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
