Philippians 4
1 So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, —thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, —on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: —
I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to agree in the Lord.
3 Yea! I request thee also, true yokefellow, be thou helping together with these women, —who, indeed, in the joyful message, have maintained the combat with me, along with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names, are in the book of life.
Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I will say—rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice.
5 Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: —
Let your gentleness be evident to all people. The Lord is near.
6 For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah Jesus.
8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are dignified, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are chaste, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, —if there be any virtue, and if any praise, the same, be taking into account;
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, 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.
9 The things which ye have both learned, and accepted, and heard, and seen in me, the same, practise; —and, the God of peace, shall be with you.
And the things you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.
10 Howbeit I have been made to rejoice in the Lord greatly—that, now, at length, ye have flourished in your care for me, —although, indeed, ye were caring, but lacked opportunity.
Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly that at last you have revived your concern for me; in which you were indeed concerned, but you lacked opportunity.
11 Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
I'm not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
12 I know [what it is] even to be kept low, and I know [what it is] to have more than enough, —in every way, and in all things, have I been let into the secret—both to be well fed, and to be hungering, both to have more than enough, and to be coming short:
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret, whether full or hungry, whether having a lot or being in need.
13 I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.
Still, you have done well to share my hardship.
15 Ye know, moreover, even ye, Philippians, —that, in the beginning of the glad-message, when I went forth from Macedonia, not, so much as one assembly, with me had fellowship—in the matter of giving and receiving—save, ye alone, —
And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
16 That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: —
For even in Thessalonica you sent me aid twice.
17 Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.
Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your account.
18 But I have all things in full, and have more than enough, I am filled, having welcomed from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, —a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing unto God.
But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
19 And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
And my God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Messiah Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
Greet every saint in Messiah Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.
All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household.
23 The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
The grace of the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah be with your spirit.
