“because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.”
“For your communication in the gospel of Christ, from the first day unto now.”

Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
I give thanks to my God, with every remembrance of you,
always, in all my prayers, making supplication for all of you with joy,
because of your communion in the Gospel of Christ, from the first day even until now.
I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.
So then, it is right for me to feel this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, and because, in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
For God is my witness how, within the heart of Jesus Christ, I long for all of you.
