Philippians 4

1So then, my dearly loved and longed for brothers and sisters, my joy and crown, # 4:1 Rv 12:1 in this manner stand firm # 4:1 Rm 14:4; 1Co 16:13; Php 1:27; 2:2 in the Lord, dear friends.

Practical Counsel

2I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to agree in the Lord. 3Yes, I also ask you, true partner, # 4:3 Or true Syzygus, possibly a person’s name to help these women who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my coworkers whose names are in the book of life. 4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your graciousness # 4:5 Or gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. # 4:5 1Co 16:22; Php 1:6; Heb 10:24–25; Jms 5:8; Rv 1:7; 3:11; 22:20 6Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses # 4:7 Php 2:3 all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. # 4:7 Rm 16:7; Eph 2:6; Php 1:1,15; 1Pt 5:14

8Finally # 4:8 Or In addition brothers and sisters, whatever is true, # 4:8 Jn 8:14 whatever is honorable, # 4:8 1Tm 3:8,11; Ti 2:2 whatever is just, # 4:8 Rm 1:17 whatever is pure, # 4:8 2Co 7:11; 11:2; 1Tm 5:22; Ti 2:5; Jms 3:17; 1Pt 3:2; 1Jn 3:3 whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence # 4:8 1Pt 2:9; 2Pt 1:3,5 and if there is anything praiseworthy — dwell on these things. 9Do what you have learned and received # 4:9 Jd 3 and heard from me, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

Appreciation of Support

10I rejoiced in the Lord greatly because once again # 4:10 Php 1:5 you renewed your care for me. # 4:10 2Co 8:1–2; 11:9 You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it. 11I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself. 12I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot. # 4:12 1Co 15:58 In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content — whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. 13I am able to do all things through him # 4:13 Other mss read Christ who strengthens me. # 4:13 2Co 12:9; Eph 3:16; Col 1:11; 1Tm 1:12; 2Tm 4:17 14Still, you did well by partnering with me in my hardship.

15And you Philippians # 4:15 Php 1:1 know that in the early days of the gospel, # 4:15 Ac 16:6–40; Php 1:5 when I left Macedonia, # 4:15 Ac 16:9 no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone. 16For even in Thessalonica # 4:16 Ac 17:1 you sent gifts for my need # 4:16 Mt 6:8 several times. 17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit # 4:17 Lit fruit,# 4:17 Mt 3:8; Rm 1:13; Gl 5:22 that is increasing to your account. 18But I have received everything in full, # 4:18 Php 1:5 and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, # 4:18 Or Here, then, is my receipt for everything, I have an abundance, for I am fully supplied having received from Epaphroditus # 4:18 Php 2:25 what you provided — a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing # 4:18 Heb 13:21 to God. 19And my God # 4:19 Mt 27:46; Rm 1:8; Php 1:8 will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20Now to our God and Father # 4:20 Gl 1:4; 1Th 1:3; 3:11,13 be glory forever and ever. # 4:20 Gl 1:5; 1Tm 1:17; 2Tm 4:18; Heb 13:21 Amen. # 4:20 Rm 11:36; Rv 22:21

Final Greetings

21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings. 22All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s # 4:22 Mt 22:17; Lk 20:22 household. # 4:22 Php 1:7 23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. # 4:23 Other mss add Amen.,# 4:23 Rm 1:9

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; Yn 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.
