‏ Philippians 1:11

v. 11: Paul prays that they will be “filled with the fruits of righteousness” (Philippians 1:11 a). This means their lives will show good actions that come from a heart changed by God. These good works are only possible through Jesus Christ, because He gives us the strength and grace we need (John 15:5; 2 Timothy 2:1 b; Ephesians 3:16 c). Paul’s final goal is that all these things will bring glory and praise to God, not to themselves (1 Peter 4:11; 1 Corinthians 10:31 d).
