1 Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand ye in the Lord, dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and I beseech Syntyche, to think the same in the Lord. 3 And I also ask thee, worthy yoke fellow, aid those women who fought in company with me in the good news, and with Clement, and the rest of my co-workers, whose names in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always: again say I, Do ye rejoice. 5 Let your fitness be known to all men. The Lord is near. 6 Rave anxiety about nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with gratitude let your desires be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, surpassing all understanding, shall watch your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 As to the rest, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever venerable, whatever just, whatever pure, whatever lovely, whatever prosperous; if any ability, and if any praise, reckon up these things. 9 And what things ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace shall be with you. 10 And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that once already ye recovered new vigor; for thinking of me, upon whom ye were thinking, and ye had not time. 11 Not that I speak concerning want; for I have learned, among whom I am, to be satisfied with my condition. 12 And I know how to be humble, and I know how to abound in every thing: and in all I am instructed also to be full and to hunger, and to abound and to be in want. 13 I am strong for all things in Christ strengthening me.
