| 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 [are] 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 [is] 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 [are] grave, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] 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 [it], 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, [is] 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 [is] with you all. Amen. |
