1 Wherefore, my dearly beloved brethren, my joy and my crown, whom I long to see, continue firm in your christian profession, my beloved. Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!
2 I conjure Euodias, and I conjure Syntyche to be perfectly united in the Lord. I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 yea, I intreat thee too, my faithful collegue, to assist them both, for they assisted me in the gospel, as well as Clement, and my other collegues, whose names are in the book of life. Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: I say it again, rejoice. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

6 the Lord is coming: be not in any manner of sollicitude, but in all your occasions lay your requests before God by prayer and supplication accompany'd by thanksgiving. do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 and the favour of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall keep your hearts and mind attach'd to Jesus Christ. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, my brethren, whatever has the character of truth, of dignity, of justice, of chastity, whatever can procure you esteem and reputation, in a word, if there be any thing virtuous or praise-worthy, let that be the object of your enquiry. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
9 practise what I have taught, what you have learnt of me, what you have heard me preach, and seen me practise, this do, and the God of peace will then be with you. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
10 Now I joyfully thank the Lord, that your concern for me has at length reviv'd, not that you wanted the disposition, but only the opportunity. I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
11 it is not my indigence that makes me say this: for I have learn'd, in whatevever state I am, therewith to be content: I know how to be in want, Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12 I know how to abound: every where, and in every circumstance, I have been prepar'd for fulness or famine, for plenty or penury: I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13 to these things I am equal, thro' Christ who strengthens me. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
14 however, you acted generously in assisting me in my necessity: Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
15 and you yourselves know, O Philippians, that when I first preach'd the gospel, at my departure from Macedonia, I receiv'd no manner of assistance from any other church but yours; And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;
16 for you sent more than once to Thessalonica to supply my occasions. Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.
17 not that I desire a present; but what I desire is, that the fruits of your liberality may greatly redound to your own account. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.
18 I have now receiv'd the whole, and have more than sufficient: I am loaded with the presents you sent by Epaphroditus, which I have receiv'd as grateful incense, as a sacrifice which God accepts and approves. I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19 for which may my God crown all your desires with glory by Christ Jesus. And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
20 to God our father be glory for ever, amen. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute all the christian converts, the brethren who are with me salute you. Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.
22 all the converts here salute you, particularly those of Cesar's houshold. All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household. All God’s people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. AMEN. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
