1 - So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.
2 - Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same mind in the Lord;
3 - and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names <FI>are<Fi> in the book of life.
4 - Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;
5 - let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord <FI>is<Fi> near;
6 - for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;
7 - and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 - As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as <FI>are<Fi> grave, as many as <FI>are<Fi> righteous, as many as <FI>are<Fi> pure, as many as <FI>are<Fi> lovely, as many as <FI>are<Fi> of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;
9 - the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.
10 - And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;
11 - not that in respect of want I say <FI>it<Fi> , for I did learn in the things in which I am--to be content;
12 - I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
13 - For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;
14 - but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;
15 - and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;
16 - because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;
17 - not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;
18 - and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you--an odour of a sweet smell--a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:
19 - and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
20 - and to God, even our Father, <FI>is<Fi> the glory--to the ages of the ages. Amen.
21 - Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me;
22 - there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house;
23 - the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ <FI>is<Fi> with you all. Amen.
