PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER IV.

THEREFORE, my brethren and dearly beloved and 
longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast 
in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche,
that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 
3 And I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help 
those women which laboured with me in the gospel, 
with Clement also, and with other my fellow 
labourers, whose names are in the book of life. 
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, 
Rejoice. 
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. 
The Lord is at hand. 
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by 
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your 
requests be made known unto God. 
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all 
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds 
through Christ Jesus. 
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, 
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things 
are just, whatosever things are pure, whatsoever 
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good 
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any 
praise, think on these things. 
9 Those things which ye have both learned, 
and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and 
the God of peace shall be with you. 
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now 
at the last your care of me hath flourished
again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked 
opportunity. 
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I 
have learned, in whatsoever state I am therewith 
to be content. 
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know 
how to abound: every where and in all things I am 
instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to 
abound and to suffer need. 
13 I can do all tings through Christ, which
strengtheneth me. 
14 Notwithstanding, ye have well done that ye 
did communicate with my affliction. 
15 Now ye Philippians, know also, that in the 
beginning of the gospel, when I departed from 
Macedonia, no church communicated with me as 
concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and 
again unto my necessity. 
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire 
fruit that may abound to your account. 
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full 
having received of Epaphroditus the things which
were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a 
sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 
19 But my God shall supply all your need 
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory forever 
and ever. Amen. 
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The 
brethren which are with me greet you. 
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that 
are of Cesar's household. 
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with 
you all. Amen. 

-- It was written to the Philippians from Rome, by Epaphroditus.
