Chapter 4

  Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved.  

--

  I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.  

--

  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.  

--

  Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.  

--

  Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.  

--

  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  

--

  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.  

--

  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.  

--

  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  

--

  Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.  

--

  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.  

--

  For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.  

--

  Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.  

--

  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.  

--

  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  

--

  Now unto God and our Father [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.  

--

  Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.  

--

  All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.  

--

  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. [To [the] Philippians written from Rome, by Epaphroditus.]
