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, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
2 Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, —on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: —
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way 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, I beg you also, true partner, 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.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I will say—rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
5 Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: —
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known 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 thoughts 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 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 anything worthy of praise, think about 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.
Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, 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.
But I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
11 Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:
Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
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 be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
13 I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.
However you did well that you shared 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, —
You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
16 That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: —
For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17 Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.
Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases 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.
But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
19 And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar’s household.
All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
