Philippians 1:3

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Every time I think of you, I thank my God.

See the chapter Copy

You used to be slaves of sin. But I thank God that with all your heart you obeyed the teaching you received from me.

I never stop thanking my God for being kind enough to give you Christ Jesus,

How can we possibly thank God enough for all the happiness you have brought us?

My dear friends, we always have good reason to thank God for you, because your faith in God and your love for each other keep growing all the time.

Night and day I mention you in my prayers. I am always grateful for you, as I pray to the God my ancestors and I have served with a clear conscience.
