Though written with the believers in Philippi in mind, this passage reveals Paul’s deep desire for the growth and flourishing of all who are in Christ. Few were as personally invested in the spiritual lives of others as Paul, and here we see three heartfelt hopes he carried for every believer: a strong spiritual foundation, a life rich in service, and a walk that bears lasting fruit. His prayer remains a powerful model of encouragement and intercession for the Church today.
