Paul's Letter to the Philippians, Chapter 4
{4:1} Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and
crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved. {4:2} I exhort Euodia,
and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord. {4:3} Yes, I
beg you also, true yokefellow, 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. {4:4} Rejoice in the
Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice! {4:5} Let your gentleness be
known to all men. The Lord is at hand. {4:6} In nothing be anxious,
but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your
requests be made known to God. {4:7} And the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts
in Messiah Yeshua.
{4:8} 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 any praise, think about these
things. {4:9} The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw
in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you. {4:10}
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. {4:11} Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I
have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. {4:12} I
know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything
and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to
be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. {4:13} I can do all
things through Messiah, who strengthens me. {4:14} However you did
well that you shared in my affliction. {4:15} 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. {4:16} For even in Thessalonica you
sent once and again to my need. {4:17} Not that I seek for the gift,
but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account. {4:18} 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. {4:19} My
God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory
in Messiah Yeshua. {4:20} Now to our God and Father be the glory
forever and ever! Amen.
{4:21} Greet every holy one in Messiah Yeshua. The brothers who are
with me greet you. {4:22} All the holy ones greet you, especially
those who are of Caesar's household. {4:23} The grace of the Lord
Yeshua the Messiah be with you all. Amen.
