1 Wherefore,
my brethren, beloved and much desired, my joy and
crown, so stand ye fast in the Lord, my beloved.
2 I note exhort Euodia, and note Syntyche to note be perfectly
united in the Lord.
3 And I entreat thee likewise, my
faithful collegue, to assist them, note for they laboured with
me in the gospel, note and Clement also, and my other
fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your note moderation be known unto all men.
The
Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious in nothing: but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known before God.
7 And the
peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, shall
guard your hearts and note minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally
my brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things
are venerable, whatever things are just, whatever
-- --
things are pure, whatever things are friendly, whatever
things are reputable, if there be any virtue, and if there
be any praise, think of these things:
9 and what ye have
both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,
these practise; and the God of peace will be with
you.
10 noteI rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that your care for
me has now note flourished again; for whom ye were indeed
careful before, but ye wanted opportunity.
11 Not
that I speak on account of want; for I have learnt in
whatever circumstances I am, to be contented.
12 I know
both how to be abased, and note how to abound: in every
place, and in all conditions I am instructed, both to be
full and to be hungry, note to abound and to be in want.
13 I can do all things through Christ strengthening me.
14 Nevertheless ye did well in communicating to the relief
of my affliction.
15 And ye Philippians know, that in
the beginning of the gospel, when I was departing from
Macedonia, no church communicated to me on the
score of giving and receiving, but you only.
16 For
even in Thessalonica ye sent note once and again to
supply my wants.
17 Not that I desire a gift, but I desire
fruit that may abound to your account.
18 And indeed
I have it all, and now abound: I am fully supplied,
having received of Epaphroditus the things sent
by you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing
to God.
19 And my God will supply all your
wants, according to his riches, in glory, by Christ
Jesus.
20 Now to our God and Father be glory for ever
and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren
that are with me salute you:
22 and all the saints here
salute you, but especially those of Cesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
Written to the Philippians from Rome by Epaphroditus.
