3 I thank my Elohim in all my remembrance of you.
4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy,
5 for your fellowship in the Good News from the first day until now,
6 being persuaded of this, that He who has begun a good work in you shall perfect it until the day of יהושע Messiah.
7 It is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, all of you being sharers of the favour with me, both in my chains and in the defence and confirmation of the Good News.
8 For Elohim is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of יהושע Messiah.
9 And this I pray, that your love might extend more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
