Philippians 4
1 Wherefore, my beloved and dear brethren, my joy and my crown!-so stand ye fast in our Lord, my beloved!
Wherefore, my brethren, beloved and much desired, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 I beseech of Euodias and Syntyche, that they be of one mind in our Lord.
I beseech Euodia and Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 I also beseech of thee, my true yokefellow, that thou assist those women who toiled with me in the gospel; together with Clement, and with the rest of my helpers, whose names are written in the book of life.
Nay, I entreat you, also, my faithful colleague, assist those women who have labored with me in the gospel, with Clement; and my other fellowlaborers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice ye in our Lord, at all times; and again I say, Rejoice.
Rejoice in the Lord always: I say again, Rejoice.
5 Let your humility be recognized among all men. Our Lord is near.
Let your moderation be known to all men: the Lord is nigh.
6 Be anxious for nothing; but at all times, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make known your requests before God.
Be anxious about nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;
7 And the peace of God, which surpasseth all knowledge, will keep your hearts and your minds, through Jesus the Messiah.
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds, through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, my brethren, what things are true, and what things are decorous, and what things are right, and what things are pure, and what things are lovely, and what things are commendable, and deeds of praise and approbation, on these be your thoughts.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are venerable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are benevolent, whatever things are of good fame; if there be any virtue, and if any praise be due, attentively consider these things;
9 What things ye have learned, and received, and heard, and seen, in me, these do ye: and the God of peace will be with you.
those, also, which you have learned, and received, and heard, and seen with me, practice; and the God of peace will be with you.
10 And I rejoice greatly in our Lord, that ye have again commenced caring for me; even as ye had before cared for me, but ye had not the opportunity.
But I rejoice greatly in the Lord, that now at length you have made your care of me to flourish again; for whom indeed, you were careful, but you had not an opportunity.
11 Yet I say this, not because I was in want; for I have learned to make that satisfy me, which I have.
Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content.
12 I know how to be depressed, and I also know how to abound in every thing; and in all things am I exercised, both in fullness and in famine, in abundance and in penury.
I know what it is to be straitened; I know what it is to abound. Everywhere, and by all means, I am silently taught what it is to be full, and to be hungry; to abound, and to suffer want.
13 I find strength for every thing, in the Messiah who strengtheneth me.
I can do all things, through him who strengthens me.
14 Yet ye have done well, in that ye communicated to my necessities.
Nevertheless, you have done well in sympathizing with my affliction.
15 And ye know also, Philippians, that in the beginning of the annunciation, when I left Macedonia, not one of the churches communicated with me in respect to receiving and giving, except ye only;
Moreover, you Philippians also know, that, in the beginning of my labors in the gospel, when I departed for Macedonia, no congregation communicated with me, by giving and receiving, but you only;
16 that also at Thessalonica, once and again ye sent me relief.
that, also, when in Thessalonica, you sent once; yes, twice, to relieve my necessity--
17 Not that I desire a gift; but I wish fruits may multiply unto you.
not that I earnestly seek the fruit, which abounds to your account.
18 I have now received all, and I abound, and am full: and I accepted all that ye sent to me by Epaphroditus, a sweet odor, and an acceptable sacrifice that pleaseth God.
But I have received all, and abound; I have been fully supplied, having received by Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a fragrant odor, a sacrifice accepted; well pleasing to God.
19 And may God supply all your necessity, according to his riches, in the glory of Jesus the Messiah.
But my God will fully supply all your wants, according to his riches in glory, through Christ Jesus.
Now, to God, even our Father, be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Salute all the saints who are in Jesus the Messiah. The brethren who are with me, salute you.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you.
22 All the saints salute you, especially those of Caesar's household.
All the saints salute you, but especially those of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, be with you all. Amen.
The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
