2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 ^aI thank my God upon every remembrance of you,  ‡

6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun ^aa good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;  ‡

7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.
