Philippians 1:6
Compare all
4 always in aevery prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,  
5 afor your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now,  
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.
8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

Philippians 1:6

Being confident (pepoiqwv). Second perfect active of peiqw, to persuade.

This very thing (auto touto). Accusative of the inner object with pepoiqwv, "this thing itself."

Will perfect it (epitelesei). Future active indicative of epitelew, will fully (epi-) finish. God began and God will consummate it (see II Corinthians 8:6; Galatians 3:3 where both words occur together as here), but not without their cooperation and partnership.

Until the day of Jesus Christ (axri hmerav Xristou Ihsou). The second coming as in verse Philippians 1:10. See I Thessalonians 5:2, I Thessalonians 5:4; II Thessalonians 1:10; II Thessalonians 2:2; I Corinthians 1:18; I Corinthians 3:13; II Corinthians 1:14; Romans 13:12. Paul never sets the time for the Lord's return, but he is cheered by that blessed hope.
