| 4:1 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm inside of the Lord, beloved. 2 I exhort Euodia and Syntyche to be of the same gut-level heart-thinking inside the Lord. 3 Yes, I also ask you, genuine yoke-fellow, receive together these sisters who labored together with me in the gospel; also with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are inside the book of life [the Pro-Knowing of God]. • 4 Rejoice always inside of the Lord; again, I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men, as the closeness of the Lord. • 6 Be distracted by nothing, but in all by prayer and asking, with speaking good grace and giving thanks, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God surpassing all comprehension will guard, keep, and protect your hearts and your thoughts inside of Christ Jesus. • 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever honorable, whatever right, whatever pure, whatever lovely, whatever admirable, if any excellence, if any praise, account these things, make these things your own self-story. 9 What also you have learned and received and have heard and seen in me, these things practice, and the God of peace will be with you. 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, moreover, that now at this time you renewed your active caring for me; though you were already concerned, even though you were lacking in opportunity. • 11 Not that I speak as to poverty; indeed, I have learned inside whatever I am, to be content, that is, to be sufficient. 12 I know also to be lowly, [r] I know also to abound [s) inside of all, and in all I have learned the secret, that is, to eat until fully satisfied and also to be hungry, to abound over and above and also to suffer need. • 13 I am strong for all inside of the One empowering me. 14 But you did well, sharing together with me in my afflictions and travailing pressures. 15 You Philippians know also that when the gospel was first spoken to you, when I came to you out from Macedonia, not one other assembly shared together with me into this word of giving AND receiving, except you alone. 16 For even in Thessalonica, you sent supply both once and twice to meet my needs. • 17 Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit abounding into your account. 18 I possess all, moreover, and abound; I am filled full, having received by Epaphroditus the things sent from you, an aroma of a sweet smell, an acceptable offering, well-pleasing to God. • 19 But my God will fill full all your needs and business, down to the finest details of His riches and wealth found inside of glory inside all the sphere of Christ Jesus. 20 To God our Father be the glory into the seasons of the ages. Let it be so – it is so. 21 Greet every devoted one inside of Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters with me greet you. 22 All the devoted ones greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Let it be so – it is so. |
