Therefore,
my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy
and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly
beloved.
02 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that
they be of the same mind in the Lord.
03 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help
those women which laboured with me in the gospel,
with Clement also, and with other my
fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of
life.
04 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,
Rejoice.
05 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The
Lord is at hand.
06 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God.
07 And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
08 Finally, 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.
09 Those things, which ye have both learned, and
received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the
God of peace shall be with you.
10 But 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.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I
have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith
to be content.

12 I 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.
13 I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did
communicate with my affliction.
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the
beginning of the gospel, when I departed from
Macedonia, no church communicated with me as
concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and
again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire
fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having
received of Epaphroditus the things which were
sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a
sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever
and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The
brethren which are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that
are of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
all. Amen.
