Προς Φιλιππησιους 4
1 ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι και επιποθητοι χαρα και στεφανος μου ουτως στηκετε εν κυριω αγαπητοι
And so, my most beloved and most desired brothers, my joy and my crown: stand firm in this way, in the Lord, most beloved.
2 ευοδιαν παρακαλω και συντυχην παρακαλω το αυτο φρονειν εν κυριω
I ask Euodia, and I beg Syntyche, to have the same understanding in the Lord.
3 και ερωτω και σε συζυγε γνησιε συλλαμβανου αυταις αιτινες εν τω ευαγγελιω συνηθλησαν μοι μετα και κλημεντος και των λοιπων συνεργων μου ων τα ονοματα εν βιβλω ζωης
And I also ask you, as my genuine companion, to assist those women who have labored with me in the Gospel, with Clement and the rest of my assistants, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4 χαιρετε εν κυριω παντοτε παλιν ερω χαιρετε
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say, rejoice.
5 το επιεικες υμων γνωσθητω πασιν ανθρωποις ο κυριος εγγυς
Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is near.
6 μηδεν μεριμνατε αλλ εν παντι τη προσευχη και τη δεησει μετα ευχαριστιας τα αιτηματα υμων γνωριζεσθω προς τον θεον
Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.
7 και η ειρηνη του θεου η υπερεχουσα παντα νουν φρουρησει τας καρδιας υμων και τα νοηματα υμων εν χριστω ιησου
And so shall the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 το λοιπον αδελφοι οσα εστιν αληθη οσα σεμνα οσα δικαια οσα αγνα οσα προσφιλη οσα ευφημα ει τις αρετη και ει τις επαινος ταυτα λογιζεσθε
Concerning the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is chaste, whatever is just, whatever is holy, whatever is worthy to be loved, whatever is of good repute, if there is any virtue, if there is any praiseworthy discipline: meditate on these.
9 α και εμαθετε και παρελαβετε και ηκουσατε και ειδετε εν εμοι ταυτα πρασσετε και ο θεος της ειρηνης εσται μεθ υμων
All the things that you have learned and accepted and heard and seen in me, do these. And so shall the God of peace be with you.
10 εχαρην δε εν κυριω μεγαλως οτι ηδη ποτε ανεθαλετε το υπερ εμου φρονειν εφ ω και εφρονειτε ηκαιρεισθε δε
Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, because finally, after some time, your feelings for me have flourished again, just as you formerly felt. For you had been preoccupied.
11 ουχ οτι καθ υστερησιν λεγω εγω γαρ εμαθον εν οις ειμι αυταρκης ειναι
I am not saying this as if out of need. For I have learned that, in whatever state I am, it is sufficient.
12 οιδα δε ταπεινουσθαι οιδα και περισσευειν εν παντι και εν πασιν μεμυημαι και χορταζεσθαι και πειναν και περισσευειν και υστερεισθαι
I know how to be humbled, and I know how to abound. I am prepared for anything, anywhere: either to be full or to be hungry, either to have abundance or to endure scarcity.
13 παντα ισχυω εν τω ενδυναμουντι με χριστω
Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.
14 πλην καλως εποιησατε συγκοινωνησαντες μου τη θλιψει
Yet truly, you have done well by sharing in my tribulation.
15 οιδατε δε και υμεις φιλιππησιοι οτι εν αρχη του ευαγγελιου οτε εξηλθον απο μακεδονιας ουδεμια μοι εκκλησια εκοινωνησεν εις λογον δοσεως και ληψεως ει μη υμεις μονοι
But you also know, O Philippians, that at the beginning of the Gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not a single church shared with me in the plan of giving and receiving, except you alone.
16 οτι και εν θεσσαλονικη και απαξ και δις εις την χρειαν μοι επεμψατε
For you even sent to Thessalonica, once, and then a second time, for what was useful to me.
17 ουχ οτι επιζητω το δομα αλλ επιζητω τον καρπον τον πλεοναζοντα εις λογον υμων
It is not that I am seeking a gift. Instead, I seek the fruit that abounds to your benefit.
18 απεχω δε παντα και περισσευω πεπληρωμαι δεξαμενος παρα επαφροδιτου τα παρ υμων οσμην ευωδιας θυσιαν δεκτην ευαρεστον τω θεω
But I have everything in abundance. I have been filled up, having received from Epaphroditus the things that you sent; this is an odor of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19 ο δε θεος μου πληρωσει πασαν χρειαν υμων κατα τον πλουτον αυτου εν δοξη εν χριστω ιησου
And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
And to God our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 ασπασασθε παντα αγιον εν χριστω ιησου ασπαζονται υμας οι συν εμοι αδελφοι
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus.
22 ασπαζονται υμας παντες οι αγιοι μαλιστα δε οι εκ της καισαρος οικιας
The brothers who are with me greet you. All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα παντων υμων αμην [ προς φιλιππησιους εγραφη απο ρωμης δι επαφροδιτου ]
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
