Προς Φιλιππησιους 4
1 ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι και επιποθητοι χαρα και στεφανος μου ουτως στηκετε εν κυριω αγαπητοι
Stand fast then, brothers, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and my crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved!
2 ευοδιαν παρακαλω και συντυχην παρακαλω το αυτο φρονειν εν κυριω
Euodia I entreat, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of the same mind of 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
yes, and I beg you also, my true yokefellow, to help them; for these women shared my toil in the furtherance of the gospel, together with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
4 χαιρετε εν κυριω παντοτε παλιν ερω χαιρετε
Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again will I say, rejoice!
5 το επιεικες υμων γνωσθητω πασιν ανθρωποις ο κυριος εγγυς
Let your reasonableness be recognized by every one. The Lord is near you.
6 μηδεν μεριμνατε αλλ εν παντι τη προσευχη και τη δεησει μετα ευχαριστιας τα αιτηματα υμων γνωριζεσθω προς τον θεον
Do not worry about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests 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 the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and your thoughts 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
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if virtue is anything, if honor is anything, be always thinking about these.
9 α και εμαθετε και παρελαβετε και ηκουσατε και ειδετε εν εμοι ταυτα πρασσετε και ο θεος της ειρηνης εσται μεθ υμων
Put in practise also what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me; and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 εχαρην δε εν κυριω μεγαλως οτι ηδη ποτε ανεθαλετε το υπερ εμου φρονειν εφ ω και εφρονειτε ηκαιρεισθε δε
Moreover, I greatly rejoiced in the Lord that now once more your care for me blossomed afresh; though indeed you did take thought in this matter, but you lacked the opportunity of expression.
11 ουχ οτι καθ υστερησιν λεγω εγω γαρ εμαθον εν οις ειμι αυταρκης ειναι
Not that I speak as if I were in want, for at least have learned how to be content, whatever happens.
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 live humbly, and I also know how to bear prosperity. In every place and under all circumstances I have been initiated into the secret of fulness and of hunger, of prosperity and of want.
13 παντα ισχυω εν τω ενδυναμουντι με χριστω
I am strong for everything in Him who gives me strength.
14 πλην καλως εποιησατε συγκοινωνησαντες μου τη θλιψει
Notwithstanding, you have acted nobly in making yourselves comrades in my trouble.
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
And you very well know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I had left Macedonia, no church but yourselves had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving.
16 οτι και εν θεσσαλονικη και απαξ και δις εις την χρειαν μοι επεμψατε
For even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent once and again for my needs.
17 ουχ οτι επιζητω το δομα αλλ επιζητω τον καρπον τον πλεοναζοντα εις λογον υμων
It is not your gifts I am eager for, but I am eager for the abundant profit that accrues to your divine account.
18 απεχω δε παντα και περισσευω πεπληρωμαι δεξαμενος παρα επαφροδιτου τα παρ υμων οσμην ευωδιας θυσιαν δεκτην ευαρεστον τω θεω
But I give you a receipt in full for all things abound. I am amply supplied with what you sent by Epaphroditus - an odor of sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.
19 ο δε θεος μου πληρωσει πασαν χρειαν υμων κατα τον πλουτον αυτου εν δοξη εν χριστω ιησου
All your own needs my God will fully supply, according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.
Now unto our God and Father be the glory, forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 ασπασασθε παντα αγιον εν χριστω ιησου ασπαζονται υμας οι συν εμοι αδελφοι
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me salute you.
22 ασπαζονται υμας παντες οι αγιοι μαλιστα δε οι εκ της καισαρος οικιας
All the saints salute you, and especially the slaves of the Emperor’s household.
23 η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα παντων υμων αμην [ προς φιλιππησιους εγραφη απο ρωμης δι επαφροδιτου ]
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
