Philippians 4
1 WHEREFORE, my brethren, beloved, and very dear to me, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, O beloved.
So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and garland, so stand in the LORD, beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias, and I beseech Syntiche to be of one mind in the Lord.
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the LORD;
3 And I beseech thee also, my genuine associate, assist those women who laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
and I also ask you, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who strove along with me in the good news, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names [are] in [the] Scroll of Life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, Rejoice.
Rejoice in the LORD always; again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Let your reasonableness be known to all men; the LORD [is] near;
6 Be not anxious about any thing, but in every case by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known unto God.
be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 And the peace of God which surpasseth all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are serious, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are amiable, whatsoever things are laudable, if there be any virtue, or any thing praise-worthy, pay attention to these things.
As to the rest, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as [are] revered, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, think on these things;
9 Whatsoever things also ye have learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these practise, and the God of peace shall be with you.
the things that you also learned, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, do those, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 Now I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that now once more your thoughtful attention about me hath again sprung up, to which also your mind had been disposed, but ye had not found the opportunity.
And I rejoiced in the LORD greatly, that now at length you flourished again in caring for me, for which also you were caring, and lacked opportunity;
11 Not that I mention this with a view to my indigence: for I have learned in whatever circumstances I am, to be content.
I do not say that in respect of want, for I learned in the things in which I am—to be content;
12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in every state and in all situations I am instructed either to be full or famishing, either to enjoy abundance, or to suffer want:
I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
13 I am enabled for all things by Christ who strengtheneth me.
I have strength for all things, in Christ’s strengthening me;
14 Nevertheless ye have done nobly in your communications to me during my affliction.
but you did well, having shared in my tribulation;
15 But know also, Philippians, that at my first preaching the gospel, when I went from Macedonia, no church communicated to me in the way of giving and receiving but ye alone.
and you have known, even you Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly communicated with me in regard to giving and receiving except you only;
16 For in Thessalonica also ye sent me once, yea twice, a supply for my want.
because in Thessalonica also, both once and again you sent to my need;
17 Not that I am anxious for a gift; but I am anxious to see fruit abounding on your account.
not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;
18 But I have now all things, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus your bounty, an odour of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you—an odor of a refreshing fragrance—a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:
19 But my God will fully supply all your want, according to his riches in glory, by Christ Jesus.
and my God will supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you.
Every holy one in Christ Jesus greets you; the brothers with me greet you;
22 All the saints salute you, specially those who are of Caesar’s household.
all the holy ones greet you, and especially those of Caesar’s house.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Unto the Philippians, written from Rome by Epaphroditus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen.
