Philippians 4
4
Rejoice in the Lord
1Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2I beseech Eu-o´di-as, and beseech Syn´tyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
4Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Think on These Things
8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Acknowledgment of the Philippians' Gift
10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14Notwithstanding, ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15#2 Cor 11.9. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedo´nia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16#Acts 17.1. For even in Thessaloni´ca ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18#Exod 29.18. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphrodi´tus the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 19But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
21Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Philippians 4
4
Appeal for Unity
1 So then, my beloved and greatly desired brothers, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, dear friends. 2I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to be in agreement#Literally “to think the same thing” in the Lord. 3Yes, I ask also you, true yokefellow, help them, who struggled along with me in the gospel with both Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
Be Anxious for Nothing
4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. 5Let your gentleness be made known to all people. The Lord is near. 6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds#Or “thoughts” in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are pleasing, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these things. 9And the things which you have learned and received and heard about and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Support for Paul’s Ministry
10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have renewed your concern for me#Literally “you have revived to think on behalf of me”, for whom also you were thinking, but you had no opportunity to express it. 11Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12I know how both to make do with little#Literally “to be humbled” and I know how to have an abundance#Literally “to abound”. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to have an abundance#Literally “to abound” and to go without. 13I am able to do all things by the one who strengthens me. 14Nevertheless you have done well by sharing#*Here “by” is supplied as a component of the participle (“sharing”) which is understood as means with me in my affliction. 15Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone, 16because even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion#Literally “both once and twice” you sent for my need. 17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account. 18But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am well supplied#Literally “I have been made full” because#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“received”) which is understood as causal I received from Epaphroditus what you had sent#Literally “the things from you”, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. 19And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever#Literally “to the ages of the ages”. Amen.
Final Greetings and Benediction
21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you. 22All the saints greet you, and especially those of Caesar’s household. 23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
