Philippians 4




1.  Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast * in the Lord, my 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 with other my fellowlabourers,whose names are in the book of life.

4.  Rejoice * in the Lord alway:and again I say * , Rejoice * .

5.  Let * your moderation be known * unto all men. The Lord is 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.

8.  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.

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 * , therewith 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 which were sent 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 be 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 be with you all. Amen.<<To the Philippians written * from Rome, by Epaphroditus.>>
