Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved.
Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to agree in the Lord.
3 And I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help those women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with] other my fellow-laborers, whose names [are] in the book of life.
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.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: [and] again I say, Rejoice.
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Let your gentleness be evident to all people. The Lord is near.
6 Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things [are] honest, 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.
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.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace will be with you.
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.
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
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.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, [with that] to be content.
I'm not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
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.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14 Notwithstanding ye have done well, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
Still, you have done well to share my hardship.
15 Now, ye Philippians, know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
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.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to my necessity.
For even in Thessalonica you sent me aid twice.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your account.
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
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.
19 But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
And my God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cesar's household.
All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
