腓立比书 4
保罗的劝勉
1 我所亲爱、所想念的弟兄姊妹，你们就是我的喜乐，我的冠冕。我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，你们要靠主坚定不移。2 我恳求友阿蝶和循都姬要在主里同心。3 忠心的同工啊，请你帮助她们二人，因为她们曾与我、革利免和其他同工一起为福音辛劳，这些人的名字都记录在生命册上了。
4 你们要靠主常常喜乐！我再说，你们要喜乐！5 要让众人都知道你们是谦和宽容的人。主快来了。6 你们应该一无挂虑，凡事要借着祷告和祈求，以感恩的心将你们的需要告诉上帝。7 这样，上帝那超越人所能理解的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心思意念。
8 最后，弟兄姊妹，你们要思想一切真实、可敬、公义、纯洁、可爱、有好名声、有美德和值得赞许的事情。9 你们从我身上学习、领受、看到和听到的，都要照着去行。这样，赐平安的上帝就必与你们同在。
致谢
10 我在主里真是非常喜乐，因为你们现在又一次关心我。其实你们向来都很关心我，只是没有机会。11 我并非有缺乏才这样说，因为我已经学会在任何处境中都能知足。12 我知道如何过贫穷的日子，也知道如何过富足的日子。我学到了秘诀，不论饱足或饥饿，丰裕或缺乏，在任何情况下都可以处之泰然。13 靠着赐我力量的那位，我凡事都能做。
14 然而，你们与我共患难，真是太好了。15 腓立比人啊！你们也知道，在我离开马其顿传福音的初期，除了你们以外，没有别的教会供应我的需要。16 即使我在帖撒罗尼迦的时候，你们也不止一次供应过我的需要。17 我不求得到你们的馈赠，只希望你们所做的会带给你们更大的赏赐。18 我现在样样都有，丰富有余。我从以巴弗提手上收到了你们送给我的礼物，已经充足了。这些馈赠是蒙上帝悦纳的馨香祭物。19 我的上帝必按照祂在基督耶稣里的荣耀，丰丰富富地赐给你们所需用的一切。
20 愿荣耀归给我们的父上帝，直到永永远远。阿们！
问候
21 请代我问候在基督耶稣里的众圣徒。我这里的弟兄姊妹也问候你们。22 所有的圣徒，特别是在凯撒宫里工作的人，都问候你们。
23 愿主耶稣基督的恩典与你们的灵同在！
Philippians 4
Christian Practices
1 So then, my brothers and sisters,t dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!
2 I appeal to Euodia and to Syntyche to agree in the Lord.3 Yes, I say also to you, true companion,t help them. They have struggled together in the gospel ministryt along with me and Clement and my other coworkers, whose names are in the book of life.4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!5 Let everyone see your gentleness.t The Lord is near!6 Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and mindst in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters,t whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.
9 And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.
Appreciation for Support
10 I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.)t11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.12 I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment,t whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing.13 I am able to do all thingst through the ones who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless, you did well to share with me in my trouble.
15 And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone.16 For even in Thessalonicas on more than one occasiont you sent something for my need.17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift.t Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.18 For I have received everything, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus what you sent – a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God.19 And my God will supply your every need according to his glorious richest in Christ Jesus.
20 May glory be given to God our Father forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
21 Give greetings to all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brotherst with me here send greetings.22 All the saints greet you, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.s
