The Amplified bible reads like this:
6[And I pray] that the participation in and sharing of your faith may produce and promote full recognition and appreciation and understanding and precise knowledge of every good [thing] that is ours in [our identification with] Christ Jesus [and unto His glory].
The NIV reads like this:
6I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.
The idea is that in order for me, as a Christian, and for anyone else to "have a full understanding of every good thing" we have IN CHRIST - my faith in Christ must be shared.
When the gospel of Jesus is shared from one person to another - both people get to understand the goodness of HIM!
That's great stuff!
