1 | Therefore , my brethren dearly beloved and longed for , my joy and crown , so stand fast in the Lord , [my] dearly beloved . |
2 | I beseech Euodias , and beseech Syntyche , that they be of the same mind in the Lord . |
3 | And I intreat thee also , true yokefellow , help those women which laboured with me in the gospel , with Clement also , and [with] other my fellowlabourers , whose names [are] in the book of life . |
4 | Rejoice in the Lord alway : [and] again I say , Rejoice . |
5 | Let your moderation be known unto all men . The Lord [is] at hand . |
6 | Be careful for nothing ; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God . |
7 | And the peace of God , which passeth all understanding , shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus . |
8 | Finally , brethren , whatsoever things are true , whatsoever things [are] honest , whatsoever things [are] just , whatsoever things [are] pure , whatsoever things [are] lovely , whatsoever things [are] of good report ; if [there be] any virtue , and if [there be] any praise , think on these things . |
9 | Those things , which ye have both learned , and received , and heard , and seen in me , do : and the God of peace shall be with you . |
10 | But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly , that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again ; wherein ye were also careful , but ye lacked opportunity . |
11 | Not that I speak in respect of want : for I have learned , in whatsoever state I am , [therewith] to be content . |
12 | I know both how to be abased , and I know how to abound : every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry , both to abound and to suffer need . |
13 | I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me . |
14 | Notwithstanding ye have well done , that ye did communicate with my affliction . |
15 | Now ye Philippians know also , that in the beginning of the gospel , when I departed from Macedonia , no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving , but ye only . |
16 | For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity . |
17 | Not because I desire a gift : but I desire fruit that may abound to your account . |
18 | But I have all , and abound : I am full , having received of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you , an odour of a sweet smell , a sacrifice acceptable , wellpleasing to God . |
19 | But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus . |
20 | Now unto God and our Father [be] glory for ever and ever . Amen . |
21 | Salute every saint in Christ Jesus . The brethren which are with me greet you . |
22 | All the saints salute you , chiefly they that are of Caesar's household . |
23 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all . Amen . [the] Philippians written from Rome , by Epaphroditus > |
