Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, dearly beloved. |
|
|
|
2
|
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. |
|
|
|
3
|
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and other my fellowlabourers, whose names in the book of life. |
|
|
|
4
|
Rejoice in the Lord alway: again I say, Rejoice. |
|
|
|
5
|
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord at hand. |
|
|
|
6
|
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. |
|
|
|
7
|
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 honest, whatsoever things just, whatsoever things pure, whatsoever things lovely, whatsoever things of good report; if any virtue, and if any praise, think on these things. |
|
|
|
9
|
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, 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 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 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 with you all. Amen. +FI+FO Philippians written from Rome, by Epaphroditus. |
