Philippians 4
1 So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, —thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, —on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: —
I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
3 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.
Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, along with Clement 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. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: —
Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.
6 For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 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;
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
9 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.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
10 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.
Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
11 Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
12 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:
I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.
13 I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
14 Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.
Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.
15 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, —
And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.
16 That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: —
For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.
17 Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.
Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.
18 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.
I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
19 And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.
22 All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.
All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.
23 The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
