Philippenses 4
1 Itaque fratres mei charissimi, et desideratissimi, gaudium meum, et corona mea: sic state in Domino, charissimi:
Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
2 Evodiam rogo, et Syntycen deprecor idipsum sapere in Domino.
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
3 Etiam rogo et te germane compar, adiuva illas, quae mecum laboraverunt in Evangelio cum Clemente, et ceteris adiutoribus meis, quorum nomina sunt in libro vitae.
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 Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico gaudete.
Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
5 Modestia vestra nota sit omnibus hominibus: Dominus enim prope est.
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Nihil soliciti sitis: sed in omni oratione, et obsecratione, cum gratiarum actione petitiones vestrae innotescant apud Deum.
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 Et pax Dei, quae exuperat omnem sensum, custodiat corda vestra, et intelligentias vestras in Christo Iesu.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 De cetero fratres, quaecumque sunt vera, quaecumque pudica, quaecumque iusta, quaecumque sancta, quaecumque amabilia, quaecumque bonae famae, siqua virtus, siqua laus disciplinae, haec cogitate.
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 Quae et didicistis, et accepistis, et audistis, et vidistis in me, haec agite: et Deus pacis erit vobiscum.
Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 Gavisus sum autem in Domino vehementer, quoniam tandem aliquando refloruistis pro me sentire, sicut et sentiebatis: occupati autem eratis.
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 Non quasi propter penuriam dico: ego enim didici, in quibus sum, sufficiens esse.
Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12 Scio et humiliari, scio et abundare: (ubique et in omnibus institutus sum) et satiari, et esurire, et abundare, et penuriam pati.
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 omnia possum in eo, qui me confortat.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Verumtamen bene fecistis, communicantes tribulationi meae.
However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
15 Scitis autem et vos Philippenses, quod in principio Evangelii, quando profectus sum a Macedonia, nulla mihi Ecclesia communicavit in ratione dati et accepti, nisi vos soli:
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 quia et Thessalonicam semel et bis in usum mihi misistis.
For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17 Non quia quaero datum, sed requiro fructum abundantem in ratione vestra.
Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
18 Habeo autem omnia, et abundo: repletus sum, acceptis ab Epaphrodito quae misistis in odorem suavitatis, hostiam acceptam, placentem Deo.
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 Deus autem meus impleat omne desiderium vestrum secundum divitias suas in gloria in Christo Iesu.
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 Salutate omnem sanctum in Christo Iesu.
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 Salutant vos, qui mecum sunt, fratres. Salutant vos omnes sancti, maxime autem qui de Caesaris domo sunt.
All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 Gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi cum spiritu vestro. Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
