腓立比书 4

1 我所亲爱、所想念的弟兄们,你们就是我的喜乐,我的冠冕。我亲爱的,你们应当靠主站立得稳。

保罗的劝导

2 我劝友阿蝶循都基要在主里同心。 3 我也求你这真实同负一轭的,要帮助这两个女人,因为她们在福音上曾与我、革利免和我其余的同工一同劳苦,他们的名字都在生命册上。 4 你们要靠主常常喜乐。我再说,你们要喜乐。 5 要让众人知道你们谦让的心。主已经近了。 6 应当一无挂虑,只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢,将你们所要的告诉上帝。 7 上帝所赐那超越人所能了解的平安t,必在基督耶稣里,保守你们的心怀意念。

8 末了,弟兄们,凡是真实的、凡是可敬的、凡是公义的、凡是清洁的、凡是可爱的、凡是有美名的,若有什么德行,若有什么称赞,你们都要留意。 9 你们从我所学习的,所领受的,所听见的,所看见的事,你们都要继续去做,赐平安的上帝就必与你们同在。

为馈赠致谢

10 我靠主大大喜乐,因为你们关怀我的心如今又表现了出来;其实你们一直都关怀我,只是没有机会罢了。 11 我并不是因缺乏而说这话,因为我已经学会无论在什么景况都可以知足。 12 我知道怎样处卑贱,也知道怎样处丰富;或饱足或饥饿,或有余或缺乏,任何事情,任何景况,我都得了秘诀。 13 我靠着那加给我力量的,凡事都能做。 14 然而,你们能和我分担忧患是一件好事。

15  腓立比人哪,你们也知道我开始传福音、离开马其顿的时候,在收支的事上,除了你们以外,并没有别的教会和我分担。 16 就是我在帖撒罗尼迦,你们也一再差人来供给我的需用。 17 我并不求什么馈赠,只求你们的果子不断增多,归在你们的账上。 18 但我已经如数收到,并且有余;我已经充足,因我从以巴弗提受了你们的馈赠,当作极美的香气,为上帝所接纳、所喜悦的祭物。 19 我的上帝必照他荣耀的丰富,在基督耶稣里,使你们一切所需用的都充足。 20 愿荣耀归给我们的父上帝,直到永永远远。阿们!

祝福

21 请问候在基督耶稣里的各位圣徒。跟我一起的众弟兄都问候你们。 22 众圣徒都问候你们,特别在凯撒家里的人问候你们。 23 愿主耶稣基督的恩与你们的灵同在!

PHILIPPIANS 4

1 Dear friends, I love you and long to see you. Please keep on being faithful to the Lord. You are my pride and joy.

Paul Encourages //the Lord's Followers


2 Euodia and Syntyche, you belong to the Lord, so I beg you to stop arguing with each other.

3 And, my true partner, t I ask you to help them. These women have worked together with me and with Clement and with the others in spreading the good news. Their names are now written in the book of life.t
4 Always be glad because of the Lord! I will say it again: Be glad. 5 Always be gentle with others. The Lord will soon be here. 6 Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.

7 Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.
8 Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise.

9 You know the teachings I gave you, and you know what you heard me say and saw me do. So follow my example. And God, who gives peace, will be with you.

Paul Gives Thanks //for the Gifts //He Was Given


10 The Lord has made me very grateful that at last you have thought about me once again. Actually, you were thinking about me all along, but you didn't have any chance to show it. 11 I am not complaining about having too little. I have learned to be satisfied witht whatever I have. 12 I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little.

13 Christ gives me the strength to face anything.
14 It was good of you to help me when I was having such a hard time. 15 t My friends at Philippi, you remember what it was like when I started preaching the good news in Macedonia.t After I left there, you were the only church that became my partner by giving blessings and by receiving them in return. 16 t Even when I was in Thessalonica, you helped me more than once.

17 I am not trying to get something from you, but I want you to receive the blessings that come from giving.
18  t I have been paid back everything, and with interest. I am completely satisfied with the gifts you sent with Epaphroditus. They are like a sweet-smelling offering or like the right kind of sacrifice that pleases God. 19 I pray that God will take care of all your needs with the wonderful blessings that come from Christ Jesus!

20 May God our Father be praised forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings


21 Give my greetings to all who are God's people because of Christ Jesus.
The Lord's followers here with me send you their greetings.

22 All of God's people send their greetings, especially those in the service of the Emperor.
23 I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless your life!
