Philippians 4
Appeal for Unity
1 So then, my beloved and greatly desired brothers, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.2 I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to be in agreementt in the Lord.
3 Yes, I ask also you, true yokefellow, help them, who struggled along with me in the gospel with both Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
Be Anxious for Nothing
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.5 Let your gentleness be made known to all people. The Lord is near.6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mindst in Christ Jesus.8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are pleasing, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these things.
9 And the things which you have learned and received and heard about and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Support for Paul’s Ministry
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have renewed your concern for met, for whom also you were thinking, but you had no opportunity to express it.11 Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.12 I know how both to make do with littlet and I know how to have an abundancet. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to have an abundancet and to go without.13 I am able to do all things by the one who strengthens me.14 Nevertheless you have done well by sharing with me in my affliction.15 Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone,16 because even in Thessalonica on more than one occasiont you sent for my need.17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account.18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am well suppliedt because I received from Epaphroditus what you had sentt, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.19 And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and evert. Amen.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Philippians 4
1 Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord.3 Yea, I beseech thee also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.4 Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.5 Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything 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 guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, 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 The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your thought for me; wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked opportunity.11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content.12 I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.13 I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.14 Howbeit ye did well that ye had fellowship with my affliction.15 And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye only;16 for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need.17 Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account.18 But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, and odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.20 Now unto our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you.22 All the saints salute you, especially they that are of Caesar’s household.23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
