Philippians 4
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
4
1Therefore, my brothers and sisters,#4.1 Gk my brothers whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
Exhortations
2I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3Yes, and I ask you also, my loyal companion,#4.3 Or loyal Syzygus help these women, for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4Rejoice#4.4 Or Farewell in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.#4.4 Or Farewell 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, beloved,#4.8 Gk brothers whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about#4.8 Gk take account of these things. 9Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
Acknowledgment of the Philippians' Gift
10I rejoice#4.10 Gk I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned for me, but had no opportunity to show it.#4.10 Gk lacks to show it 11Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have. 12I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need. 13I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 14In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.
15You Philippians indeed know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you alone. 16For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once. 17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that accumulates to your account. 18I have been paid in full and have more than enough; I am fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings and Benediction
21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The friends#4.21 Gk brothers who are with me greet you. 22All the saints greet you, especially those of the emperor's household.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.#4.23 Other ancient authorities add Amen
