Philippians 1:8-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

⁹ And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:

¹⁰ That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,

¹¹ Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

¹² Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:

¹³ So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;

¹⁴ And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
