Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brethre, beloued and longed for, my ioy and my crowne, so continue in the Lord, yee beloued.
So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, —thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
2 I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of one accord in the Lord,
Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, —on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: —
3 Yea, and I beseech thee, faithfull yokefellow, helpe those women, which laboured with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowe labourers, whose names are in the booke of life.
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.
4 Reioyce in the Lord alway, againe I say, reioyce.
Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I will say—rejoice!
5 Let your patient minde be knowen vnto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: —
6 Be nothing carefull, but in all thinges let your requestes be shewed vnto God in praier, and supplication with giuing of thankes.
For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;
7 And the peace of God which passeth all vnderstanding, shall preserue your heartes and mindes in Christ Iesus.
And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.
8 Furthermore, brethre, whatsoeuer things are true, whatsoeuer things are honest, whatsoeuer thinges are iust, whatsoeuer thinges are pure, whatsoeuer thinges are worthie loue, whatsoeuer things are of good report, if there be any vertue, or if there be any praise, thinke on these things,
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;
9 Which yee haue both learned and receiued, and heard, and seene in mee: those things doe, and the God of peace shalbe with you.
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.
10 Nowe I reioyce also in the Lord greatly, that nowe at the last your care for mee springeth afresh, wherein notwithstanding ye were careful, but yee lacked opportunitie.
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.
11 I speake not because of want: for I haue learned in whatsoeuer state I am, therewith to bee content.
Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
12 And I can be abased, and I can abounde: euery where in all things I am instructed, both to be full, and to be hungrie, and to abounde, and to haue want.
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:
13 I am able to do al things through the helpe of Christ, which strengtheneth me.
I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.
14 Notwithstanding yee haue well done, that yee did communicate to mine affliction.
Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.
15 And yee Philippians knowe also that in the beginning of the Gospell, when I departed from Macedonia, no Church communicated with me, concerning the matter of giuing and receiuing, but yee onely.
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, —
16 For euen when I was in Thessalonica, yee sent once, and afterward againe for my necessitie,
That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: —
17 Not that I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit which may further your reckoning.
Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.
18 Now I haue receiued all, and haue plentie: I was euen filled, after that I had receiued of Epaphroditus that which came from you, an odour that smellleth sweete, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasant to God.
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.
19 And my God shall fulfill all your necessities through his riches with glorie in Iesus Christ.
And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Now, unto our God and Father, be the glory—unto the ages of ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
21 Salute all the Saintes in Christ Iesus. The brethren, which are with me, greete you.
Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
22 All the Saintes salute you, and most of all they which are of Cesars houshold.
All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all, Amen. ‘Written to the Philippians from Rome, and sent by Epaphroditus.’
The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
