DEVOTION: Philippians 1:2-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, ⁵ because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. ⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. ⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace,^[a] both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. ⁸ For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. ⁹ And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, ¹¹ filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ:  How many missionary trips (journeys) did Paul take? At least three major ones. Some say four if you include a trip to Spain which isn't included in the Scriptures.  Some count his trip to Rome as a mission.  Some also count his trip to Jerusalem to learn from the other apostles as a mission.  Truth be told, it is impossible to count them as his whole life after his conversion was spent traveling from lace to place to share the good news of Jesus. 

TODAY'S QUIZ:   How many letters did Paul write to the Christians in Corinth?
