TSK · Philippians 1:6

Jesus replied,“This is the deed God requires– to believe in the one whom he sent.”

A woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, a God-fearing woman, listened to us. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.

He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.

For if any of the Macedonians should come with me and find that you are not ready to give, we would be humiliated(not to mention you) by this confidence we had in you.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ,

for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort– for the sake of his good pleasure– is God.

because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,

And we are confident about you in the Lord that you are both doing– and will do– what we are commanding.

Since I was confident that you would obey, I wrote to you, because I knew that you would do even more than what I am asking you to do.

keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

Do not be led astray, my dear brothers and sisters.

And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
