The Christian Standard Bible aims to draw readers into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. By translating Scripture into the clearest possible modern English, the CSB allows readers to experience God’s Word at its fullest. Developed by 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible faithfully and accurately captures the Bible’s original meaning without compromising readability. The CSB was created using Optimal Equivalence, a translation philosophy that balances linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English. In the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for- word rendering is clearly understandable, a literal translation is used. When a word- for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, a more dynamic translation is used. This process assures that both the words and thoughts contained in the original text are conveyed as accurately as possible for today’s readers. The CSB provides a highly accurate text for sermon preparation and serious study, translated from the biblical languages by scholars who love God’s Word. Yet it doesn’t compromise readability and clarity for those who may be less familiar with the traditional (and sometimes difficult) vocabulary retained in some translations. Research shows the CSB is both highly literal to the original languages and highly readable, achieving an optimal balance of the two. Pastors and laypeople can read and share the Christian Standard Bible with confidence, knowing truth of God’s Word will be communicated effectively. For a more information, visit CSBible.com

So then, my dearly loved and longed for brothers and sisters, my joy and crown,  in this manner stand firm  in the Lord, dear friends.

I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to agree in the Lord. Yes, I also ask you, true partner,  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. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your graciousness  be known to everyone. The Lord is near.  Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses  all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 
Finally  brothers and sisters, whatever is true,  whatever is honorable,  whatever is just,  whatever is pure,  whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable #— #if there is any moral excellence  and if there is anything praiseworthy #— #dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received  and heard from me, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly because once again  you renewed your care for me.  You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it. I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself. I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot.  In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content #— #whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through him  who strengthens me.  Still, you did well by partnering with me in my hardship.
And you Philippians  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. For even in Thessalonica  you sent gifts for my need  several times. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit  , that is increasing to your account. But I have received everything in full,  and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied,  having received from Epaphroditus  what you provided #— #a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing  to God. And my God  will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father  be glory forever and ever.  Amen. 

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings. All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s  household.  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.  ,
