Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
Wherefore, my brethren, beloved and much desired, my joy and crown, so stand ye fast in the Lord, my beloved.
2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
I exhort Euodia, and Syntyche to be perfectly united in the Lord.
3 Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
And I entreat thee likewise, my faithful collegue, to assist them, for they laboured with me in the gospel, and Clement also, and my other fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Be anxious in nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known before God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 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 anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Finally my brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are venerable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are friendly, whatever things are reputable, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things:
9 Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
and what ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these practise; and the God of peace will be with you.
10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that your care for me has now flourished again; for whom ye were indeed careful before, but ye wanted opportunity.
11 Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
Not that I speak on account of want; for I have learnt in whatever circumstances I am, to be contented.
12 I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
I know both how to be abased, and how to abound: in every place, and in all conditions I am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, to abound and to be in want.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I can do all things through Christ strengthening me.
14 However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
Nevertheless ye did well in communicating to the relief of my affliction.
15 You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
And ye Philippians know, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I was departing from Macedonia, no church communicated to me on the score of giving and receiving, but you only.
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to supply my wants.
17 Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
Not that I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
And indeed I have it all, and now abound: I am fully supplied, having received of Epaphroditus the things sent by you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
And my God will supply all your wants, according to his riches, in glory, by Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you:
22 All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
and all the saints here salute you, but especially those of Cesar's household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
