‏ Philippians 4

1 Therefore, my brethren, whom I dearly love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand fast in the Lord, my beloved. 2 I urge Euodia, and urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they have laboured with me in the gospel, together with Clement, and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your forbearing spirit be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious about nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 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 admirable; if there is any virtue, and if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which you have learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your care for me; indeed, you did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak from want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound: in all circumstances I have learned how to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction. 15 Now you Philippians also know, that at the beginning of the gospel ministry, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in giving and receiving, but you alone. 16 For even in Thessalonica you more than once sent help to provide for my needs. 17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit that increases to your credit. 18 But I have received all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and well-pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
