腓立比書 4
1 我所親愛、所想念的弟兄們，你們就是我的喜樂，我的冠冕。我親愛的弟兄，你們應當靠主站立得穩。
保羅的勸導
2 我勸友阿蝶和循都基，要在主裏同心。 3 我也求你這真實同負一軛的，幫助這兩個女人，因為她們在福音上曾與我一同勞苦；還有革利免，並其餘和我一同做工的，他們的名字都在生命冊上。 4 你們要靠主常常喜樂。我再說，你們要喜樂。 5 當叫眾人知道你們謙讓的心。主已經近了。 6 應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求，和感謝，將你們所要的告訴上帝。 7 上帝所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裏保守你們的心懷意念。
8 弟兄們，我還有未盡的話：凡是真實的、可敬的、公義的、清潔的、可愛的、有美名的，若有甚麼德行，若有甚麼稱讚，這些事你們都要思念。 9 你們在我身上所學習的，所領受的，所聽見的，所看見的，這些事你們都要去行，賜平安的上帝就必與你們同在。
為餽送而致謝
10 我靠主大大地喜樂，因為你們思念我的心如今又發生；你們向來就思念我，只是沒得機會。 11 我並不是因缺乏說這話；我無論在甚麼景況都可以知足，這是我已經學會了。 12 我知道怎樣處卑賤，也知道怎樣處豐富；或飽足，或飢餓；或有餘，或缺乏，隨事隨在，我都得了秘訣。 13 我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。 14 然而，你們和我同受患難原是美事。 15 腓立比人哪，你們也知道我初傳福音離了馬其頓的時候，論到授受的事，除了你們以外，並沒有別的教會供給我。 16 就是我在帖撒羅尼迦，你們也一次兩次地打發人供給我的需用。 17 我並不求甚麼餽送，所求的就是你們的果子漸漸增多，歸在你們的帳上。 18 但我樣樣都有，並且有餘。我已經充足，因我從以巴弗提受了你們的餽送，當作極美的香氣，為上帝所收納、所喜悅的祭物。 19 我的上帝必照他榮耀的豐富，在基督耶穌裏，使你們一切所需用的都充足。 20 願榮耀歸給我們的父上帝，直到永永遠遠。阿們！
祝福
21 請問在基督耶穌裏的各位聖徒安。在我這裏的眾弟兄都問你們安。 22 眾聖徒都問你們安。在凱撒家裏的人特特地問你們安。 23 願主耶穌基督的恩常在你們心裏！
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
