Philippians
4
4 1 Therefore, my dearly beloved brethren, and most
desired, my joy and my crown; so stand fast in the Lord,
my dearly beloved.
4 2 I beg of Evodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of
one mind in the Lord.
4 3 And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help
those women who have laboured with me in the gospel,
with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose
names are in the book of life.
4 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice.
4 5 Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is
nigh.
4 6 Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer
and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions
be made known to God.
4 7 And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding,
keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
4 8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy,
whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there
be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on
these things.
4 9 The things which you have both learned, and received,
and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God
of peace shall be with you.
4 10 Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, that now
at length your thought for me hath flourished again,
as you did also think; but you were busied.
4 11 I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned,
in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith.
4 12 I know both how to be brought low, and I know how
to abound: (everywhere, and in all things I am instructed)
both to be full, and to be hungry; both to abound, and
to suffer need.
4 13 I can do all these things in him who strengtheneth
me.
4 14 Nevertheless you have done well in communicating
to my tribulation.
4 15 And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning
of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church
communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving,
but you only:
4 16 For unto Thessalonica also you sent once and again
for my use.
4 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit
that may abound to your account.
4 18 But I have all, and abound: I am filled, having
received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour
of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
4 19 And may my God supply all your want, according
to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
4 20 Now to God and our Father be glory world without
end. Amen.
4 21 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus.
4 22 The brethren who are with me, salute you. All the
saints salute you; especially they that are of Caesar's
household.
4 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen.
