Philippians Prayer

I am still reading, studying, and  trying to memorize Philippians
In the first eleven verses of the first chapter, we  find a greeting  and a  prayer.

Grace and peace to you from our Father and the Lord Jesus. I thank my God  in every remembrance of you. Always praying with  joy, in every prayer for you all, because of the fellowship in the good news   from the first day until now. Being confident of this very thing.  That he who began a good work in you will  perform  it until the day of Christ Jesus.  For it is right for me to feel this way about you all, because you are in my heart.
All of you can share in God's grace with me, defending and confirming the good news.  For God is my Witness, how I long for all of you with affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer. That your love abound more and more in real  knowledge and all discernment.  So that you may discern what is excellent  in order to be sincere and blameless until the Day of Christ. Filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ and the glory and praise of God
