Philippians 4
1 So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and garland, so stand in the LORD, beloved.
So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, —thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the LORD;
Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, —on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: —
3 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.
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 Rejoice in the LORD always; again I will say, rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I will say—rejoice!
5 Let your reasonableness be known to all men; the LORD [is] near;
Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: —
6 be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
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, that is surpassing all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.
8 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;
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 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.
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 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;
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 do not say that in respect of want, for I learned in the things in which I am—to be content;
Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
12 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.
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 have strength for all things, in Christ’s strengthening me;
I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.
14 but you did well, having shared in my tribulation;
Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.
15 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;
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 because in Thessalonica also, both once and again you sent to my need;
That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: —
17 not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;
Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.
18 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:
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 will supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
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 Every holy one in Christ Jesus greets you; the brothers with me greet you;
Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
22 all the holy ones greet you, and especially those of Caesar’s house.
All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen.
The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
