Philippians 4
Final Exhortations and Encouragement
1Therefore , my brethren dearly beloved and longed for , my joy and crown , so stand fast in the Lord , my dearly beloved . 2I beseech Euodias , and beseech Syntyche , that they be of the same mind in the Lord . 3And 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 . 4Rejoice in the Lord alway : 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 . 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 . 10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly , that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; where in 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 . 15Now 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 . 16For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity . 17Not because I desire a gift : but I desire fruit that may abound to your account . 18But 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 . 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 . 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 .
