Philippians 4

(CLV) Philippians 4

1 So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and wreath, be standing firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. 2 I am entreating Euodia and I am entreating Syntyche, to be mutually disposed in the Lord. 3 Yes, I am asking you also, genuine yokefellow, be aiding them, these women who compete together with me in the evangel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the scroll of life. 4 Be rejoicing in the Lord always! Again, I will declare, be rejoicing! 5 Let your lenience be known to all men: the Lord is near. 6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, 7 and the peace of God, that is superior to every frame of mind, shall be garrisoning your hearts and your apprehensions in Christ Jesus. 8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is grave, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is agreeable, whatever is renowned - if there is any virtue, and if any applause, be taking these into account. 9 What you learned also, and accepted and hear and perceived in me, these be putting into practice, and the God of peace will be with you. 10 Now I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that at length, for once your disposition toward me blossomed, to which you were disposed also, yet you lacked occasion. 11 Not that I am hinting at a want, for I learned to be content in that in which I am. 12 I am aware what it is to be humbled as well as aware what it is to be superabounding. In everything and among all am I initiated, to be satisified as well as to be hungering, to be superabounding as well as to be in want. 13 For all am I strong in Him Who is invigorating me - Christ! 14 Moreover, you do ideally in your joint contribution in my affliction. 15 Now you Philippians also are aware that, in the beginning of the evangel, when I came out from Macedonia, not one ecclesia participates with me in the matter of giving and getting, except you only, 16 for in Thessalonica also, you send, once and twice, to my need. 17 Not that I am seeking for a gift, but I am seeking for fruit that is increasing for your account. 18 Now I am collecting all, and am superabounding. I have been filled full, receiving from Epaphroditus the things from you, an odor fragrant, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God. 19 Now my God shall be filling your every need in accord with His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory for the eons of the eons! Amen! 21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. Greeting you are the brethren with me. 22 Greeting you are all the saints, yet especially those of Caesar's house. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit! Amen!
