Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, —thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
2 I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to agree in the Lord.
Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, —on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: —
3 Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book 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 gentleness be evident to all people. The Lord is near.
Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: —
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is 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 And the things you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. 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 Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly that at last you have revived your concern for me; in which you were indeed concerned, but you 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'm not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret, whether full or hungry, whether having a lot or being in need.
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 can do all things through him who strengthens me.
I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.
14 Still, you have done well to share my hardship.
Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.
15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but 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 For even in Thessalonica you sent me aid twice.
That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: —
17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your account.
Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.
18 But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice 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 needs according to his glorious riches 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 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
22 All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household.
All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
