Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved.
Stand fast then, brothers, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and my crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved!
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
Euodia I entreat, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of the same mind of 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.
yes, and I beg you also, my true yokefellow, to help them; for these women shared my toil in the furtherance of the gospel, together with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.
Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again will I say, rejoice!
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Let your reasonableness be recognized by every one. The Lord is near you.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Do not worry about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and your thoughts in 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.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if virtue is anything, if honor is anything, be always thinking about these.
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.
Put in practise also what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me; 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.
Moreover, I greatly rejoiced in the Lord that now once more your care for me blossomed afresh; though indeed you did take thought in this matter, but you lacked the opportunity of expression.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.
Not that I speak as if I were in want, for at least have learned how to be content, whatever happens.
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.
I know how to live humbly, and I also know how to bear prosperity. In every place and under all circumstances I have been initiated into the secret of fulness and of hunger, of prosperity and of want.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I am strong for everything in Him who gives me strength.
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
Notwithstanding, you have acted nobly in making yourselves comrades in my trouble.
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.
And you very well know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I had left Macedonia, no church but yourselves had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
For even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent once and again for my needs.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
It is not your gifts I am eager for, but I am eager for the abundant profit that accrues to your divine 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.
But I give you a receipt in full for all things abound. I am amply supplied with what you sent by Epaphroditus - an odor of sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
All your own needs my God will fully supply, according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.
Now unto our God and Father be the glory, forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me salute you.
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household.
All the saints salute you, and especially the slaves of the Emperor’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
