Philippians 4:1-13 ▼

1 So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and garland, so stand in the LORD, beloved.

2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the LORD;

3 and I also ask you, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who strove along with me in the good news, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names [are] in [the] Scroll of Life.

4 Rejoice in the LORD always; again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your reasonableness be known to all men; the LORD [is] near;

6 be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

8 As to the rest, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as [are] revered, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, think on these things;

9 the things that you also learned, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, do those, and the God of peace will be with you.

10 And I rejoiced in the LORD greatly, that now at length you flourished again in caring for me, for which also you were caring, and lacked opportunity;

11 I do not say that in respect of want, for I learned in the things in which I am—to be content;

12 I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.

13 I have strength for all things, in Christ’s strengthening me;
