Philippians 4

1 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

2 I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.

3 Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have contended side by side with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

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

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

11 I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.

12 I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. In any and every situation I have learned the secret of being filled and being hungry, of having plenty and having need.

13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.

15 And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.

16 For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.

17 Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.

18 I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

21 Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.

22 All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

1 ¶ Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved.

2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life.

4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

10 ¶ But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.

12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 ¶ Now unto God and our Father [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

1 Therefore, my dear and beloved brethren, my joy and my crown, consist ye therefore in the Lord.

2 The Evodia I exhort, and the Syntyche I exhort, that they may be of one mind in the Lord.

3 Yea, I beseech thee also, my faithful companion, help them which have fought with me concerning the gospel, with Clement, and with the rest of my helpers, whose names are in the book of life.

4 Rejoice in the LORD always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your wisdom be known unto all men. The Lord is near.

6 do not be anxious about anything, but in all things let your petition be made known before God in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving.

7 And the peace of God, which is above all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus].

8 Further, brethren, whatsoever is true, whatsoever is honourable, whatsoever is just, whatsoever is chaste, whatsoever is lovely, whatsoever is good, whatsoever is virtue, whatsoever is praise, think on these things.

9 All things whatsoever ye have learned, and received, and heard, and seen of me, do; and the LORD of peace shall be with you.

10 But I am glad in the Lord, because ye have been able to take care of me again, though ye have taken care of me in every way: but the time hath not suffered.

11 I say not this because of want: for I have learned to be content with them with whom I am.

12 I can be low, and I can be high; I am skillful in all things, and in all things; both to be full, and to hunger; both to have left, and to lack.

13 I can do all things through him who makes me mighty, Christ.

14 But ye have done well that ye have taken heed to my affliction.

15 But ye of Philippi know that from the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth out of Macedonia, no church divided with me according to the account of the issue and the income, but ye only.

16 For unto Thessalonica ye sent for my need once, and afterward once.

17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit, that it may be superfluous in your reckoning.

18 For I have all things, and have superfluous. I am fulfilled, because I received through Epaphroditus that which came from you, a sweet savour, a pleasing sacrifice, acceptable unto God.

19 But let my God satisfy all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ JESUS.

20 But unto God and unto our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Hail all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

22 All the saints salute you, and especially those of the emperor's house.

23 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Written from Rome by Epaphroditus.
