Philippians 4

1So then, my achim ahuvim whom I have a tshuka (longing) for, my simcha and crown,#4:1 1Th 2:19-20 stand firm in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
2I appeal to Euodias and I appeal to Syntyche, think the same thing in Adoneinu.
3Yes, I ask also you, true yoke-fellow, assist these women who contended alongside me in the Besuras HaGeulah with both Clement and the rest of the fellow po'alim (workers) of mine, whose names are in the Sefer HaChayyim.
4Have simcha in Adoneinu always; again I will say it: Rejoice!
5Let your chassidus (piety) and sobriety be known to kol Bnei Adam; Moshiach Adoneinu is near.
6Be anxious in nothing,#4:6 Mt 6:25; 1K 5:7 but in everything by tefillah and by techinnah (supplication) with hodayah (thanksgiving), let your requests be made known before Hashem,
7And the shalom Hashem,#4:7 Isa 26:3; Jn 14:27; Co 3:15 surpassing all binah (understanding), will guard your levavot and your machshavot (thoughts) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
8As to the rest, Achim b'Moshiach, whatever things are emes (truth), nichbad (noble), yashar (straight), tahor (clean), male No'am (full of pleasantness) and tiferet (beauty),#4:8 Ex 28:2 whatever things are commendable, if there is any virtue, if any praise, think about these things.
9And that which you learned and you received and you heard and you saw in me, practice these#4:9 Ro 12:17 and Elohei HaShalom will be with you.
10I had much simcha in Adoneinu that now at last you blossomed anew so as to think of me, for indeed you were thinking of me, but were lacking opportunity.
11Not that I refer to lack, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be tzufrieden (content).#4:11 1Ti 6:6
12I have da'as both to be humbled in anavah and I have da'as how to abound in everything. And in all things I have learned what is nistar (concealed, hidden, unseen), I have learned the secret of being filled and having hunger, of abounding and having lack.
13I can do all things in the One giving me ko'ach.
14Fort (nevertheless), you did well in entering into deveykus (communing with Hashem) through sharing in my Messianic yissurim (sufferings) with me.
15And also you Philippians have da'as, that in the beginning of the Besuras HaGeulah, when I went out from Macedonia, not one kehillah shared with me in an accounting of expenditures and receipts except you only.
16Indeed in Thessalonika both once and again you sent to my machsor (shortage).
17Not that I seek the matanah (gift), but I seek the p'ri increasing to your account.#4:17 1C 9:11
18But I have all things and I abound; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a RE'ACH HANNICHOACH (a pleasant aroma),#4:18 Gn 8:21 an acceptable, sacrifice well-pleasing to Hashem.#4:18 Ex 29:18; Ezek 20:41
19And my G-d will fill every machsor (shortage, want) of yours according to his osher (riches) in Kavod in Moshiach Yehoshua.
20L'Elohim Avinu hakavod l'Olemei Olamim. Omein. (To G-d and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen).
21Drishat Shalom (Kind Regards) to every Kadosh in Moshiach Yehoshua; the Achim b'Moshiach here with me send Drishat Shalom.
22All the Kedoshim send “Shalom” greetings, especially the Kedoshim in Caesarʼs#4:22 Neroʼs household.#4:22 Pp 1:13
23The Chen v'Chesed of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua be with your neshamah.

Philippians 4

1So stand firm in the Lord, my dear friends who mean so much to me, who make me so happy! To me you are my crowning achievement! I truly love you and long to see you! 2Euodia and Syntyche—I urge you to resolve your differences with each other and agree in the Lord. 3In fact, my faithful fellow-worker,#4:3. An unknown Christian worker presumably located in Philippi. let me ask you to help these women, for they worked together with me to spread the good news—as well as Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are recorded in the book of life.
4Always be happy in the Lord—I repeat, Be happy! 5Everyone should know about your kindness. The Lord will soon be here. 6Don't worry about anything, but take everything to God in prayer, explaining your requests to him and thanking him for all he does. 7Then the peace that comes from God, which is better than we can ever imagine, will protect your thoughts and attitudes in Christ Jesus.
8Lastly, whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, beautiful, commendable, whatever is truly good and deserves to be praised, think about these kinds of things. 9Put into practice what you learned and received from me, what you saw me doing and heard me say. Then the God of peace will be with you.
10I'm so happy in the Lord that you've at last thought about me again—realizing that you were concerned about me before but you couldn't do anything about it. 11I'm not talking about my own needs, because I've already learned to be satisfied in whatever situation I find myself. 12I'm used to having nothing, and I've experienced having plenty too. In every possible situation I've learned the secret of dealing with having plenty and going hungry, of being rich and of living in poverty: 13I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
14Even so it was good of you to share with me during my troubles. 15You Philippians remember that right at the beginning of sharing the good news, when I left Macedonia, that yours was the only church that helped me financially. 16Even when I was in Thessalonica you helped me out not once but twice. 17Not that I'm looking for a donation—I'm looking for your “account” to increase in “profit.”#4:17. Paul is using business terms, but probably referring figuratively to their spiritual “account.” 18For I have everything, more than I need! I'm thankful to receive from Epaphroditus the things you sent. They're like a sweet-smelling sacrifice that pleases God and that he approves of. 19My God will fill you with everything you need in accordance with his glorious wealth in Christ Jesus! 20Glory be to God the Father, forever and ever. Amen. 21Greet every fellow-believer in Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers and sisters with me send their greetings. 22All the believers send you greetings, especially those from Caesar's palace. 23May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
