< Philippians 4 >

1 THEREFORE, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and garland, so stand in the LORD, beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the LORD;
3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, 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 alway: and 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 careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests 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 passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through 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 honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on 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 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: 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 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked 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 speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith 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 both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
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 can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I have strength for all things, in Christ’s strengthening me;
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
but you did well, having shared in my tribulation;
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
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 even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
because in Thessalonica also, both once and again you sent to my need;
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to 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 all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing 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 shall supply all your need 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;
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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 which are with me greet you.
Every holy one in Christ Jesus greets you; the brothers with me greet you;
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cæsar’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. It was written to the Philippians from Rome by Epaphroditus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen.
