Philippians 4

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved.

I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to think the same in the Lord.

Yes, I also ask you, true companion, to help these {women} who labored with me in the gospel, with also Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names {are} in the Book of Life. \*

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice.

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord {is} near.

Be anxious about nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God,

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. \*

{As to} the rest, brothers, as many as are true, as many as honorable, as many as just, as many as pure, as many as lovely, as many as reputable, if anything {is} virtuous, and if anything {is} praiseworthy, think about these things.

And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things, and the God of peace will be with you. \*

Now I greatly rejoice in the Lord, because now at last you renewed your concern on my behalf, for which indeed you were concerned, but were lacking opportunity.

Not that I speak according to need, for I myself have learned in whatever I am to be content.

I know both {how} to be brought low, and I know {how} to abound. In each {situation} and in all {situations}, I have learned both to be filled and to be hungry, and to abound and to be in need.

I can do all things in the one strengthening me. \*

However, you did well, having shared together in my affliction.

Now you Philippians also know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went out from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone,

for even in Thessalonica, both once and twice you sent for my needs.

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that is increasing to your account. \*

Now I have all things in full, and I abound. I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, an aroma, a sweet smell, an acceptable, pleasing sacrifice to God.

Now my God will fulfill all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Now to our God and Father {be} the glory forever {and} ever. Amen. \*

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.

All the saints greet you, but especially the ones from the household of Caesar.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ {be} with your spirit. Amen.
