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.

Pilipiyim (Philippians) 4

1So then, my brothers, beloved and longed-for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Master, beloved.
2I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Suntuche to be of the same mind in the Master.
3And I also ask you, true companion, help these women who laboured with me in the Good News, with Qlemes also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice!
5Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is near.
6Do not worry at all, but in every matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim.
7And the peace of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Messiah יהושע.
8For the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think on these.
9And what you have learned and received and heard and saw in me, practise these, and the Elohim of peace shall be with you.
10And I rejoiced in יהוה greatly that now at last your concern for me has revived again – though you were concerned, but had no chance.
11Not that I speak concerning need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am.
12I know what it is to be humbled, and I know what it is to have in excess. In any and every situation I have learned both to be filled, and to be hungry, both to have in excess, and to be in need.
13I have strength to do all, through Messiah#See John 15:5; 2Cor. 3:5, 6; 2Cor. 12:9; Eph. 3:20; Philip. 2:13; Heb. 13:20, 21; 1John 4:4 who empowers me.
14Yet you did well in sharing in my pressure.
15And you know too, Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I went out from Makedonia, no assembly shared with me concerning giving and receiving, except you only,
16because, even in Thessalonike you sent to my need, once and twice.
17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that is multiplying to your account.
18Indeed I have all and more than enough. I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditos what you sent, a sweet-smelling fragrance,# Exo. 29:18#See 2Cor. 2:14, 15; Eph. 5:2 an acceptable offering, well-pleasing to Elohim.
19And my Elohim shall fill all your need according to His riches in esteem by Messiah יהושע.
20And to our Elohim and Father be esteem forever and ever. Amĕn.
21Greet every set-apart one in Messiah יהושע. The brothers with me greet you.
22All the set-apart ones greet you, but most of all those of Caesar’s household.
23The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with you all. Amĕn.
