The closing thoughts and exhortations I was moved by the warmth in Paul's heart as he shared his affection with the Philippians for their support. Note the extensive use of Csv. At first it looks somewhat confusing, but I think it brings flow to Paul's lengthy thought - and it expresses his affection.
