4:1 | Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved. |
4:2 | I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. |
4:3 | And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women who laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life. |
4:4 | Rejoice in the Lord always: [and] again I say, Rejoice. |
4:5 | Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord [is] at hand. |
4:6 | Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. |
4:7 | And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. |
4:8 | Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things [are] honest, whatever things [are] just, whatever things [are] pure, whatever things [are] lovely, whatever things [are] of good report; if [there is] any virtue, and if [there is] any praise, think on these things. |
4:9 | 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. |
4:10 | But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; in which ye were also concerned, but ye lacked opportunity. |
4:11 | Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, [with that] to be content. |
4:12 | 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. |
4:13 | I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. |
4:14 | However ye have done well, that ye did share with my affliction. |
4:15 | Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. |
4:16 | For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to my necessity. |
4:17 | Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. |
4:18 | But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. |
4:19 | But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. |
4:20 | Now to God and our Father [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
4:21 | Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. |
4:22 | All the saints greet you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household. |
4:23 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. <<[To [the] Philippians written from Rome, by Epaphroditus.]>> |
