Philippians 1:3 meaning and explanation

I thank my God every time I remember you.

Philippians 1:3, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Paul writes this from prison to a church he founded, and the letter's opening follows the customary shape of ancient thanksgivings, where a writer names what he prays for. Here the thanksgiving is unusually warm: every memory of the Philippians becomes a reason to thank God, and verse 4 will add that his prayers for them are joyful.
