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.

1Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
2I entreat Eu-odia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. 3#Lk 10.20. And I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. 6#Mt 6.25-34. Have no anxiety 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 passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9#Rom 15.33. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.
10 #
2 Cor 11.9. I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. 12I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. 13#2 Cor 12.9. I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
14Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 15And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving except you only; 16#Acts 17.1-9; 1 Thess 2.9. for even in Thessalonica you sent me help#4.16 Other ancient authorities read money for my needs once and again. 17Not that I seek the gift; but I seek the fruit which increases to your credit. 18I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. 22All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.

Gal 6.18; Philem 25. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
