Philippians 1:9-11

Gospel Partnership and Joyful Witness in Christ

From thanksgiving for gospel partnership, to confidence in God's completing work, to joy over gospel advance through suffering, to a summons to live publicly as citizens worthy of Christ's gospel.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

10 so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
