4So then, my brothers and sisters, how dear you are to me and how I miss you! How happy you make me, and how proud I am of you! This then, dear brothers and sisters, is how you should stand firm in your life in the Lord.

²Euodia and Syntyche, please, I beg you, try to agree as sisters in the Lord. ³And you too, my faithful partner, I want you to help these women; for they have worked hard with me to spread the gospel, together with Clement and all my other fellow-workers, whose names are in God’s book of the living.

⁴May you always be joyful in your union with the Lord. I say it again: rejoice!

⁵Show a gentle attitude towards everyone. The Lord is coming soon. ⁶Don’t worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. ⁷And God’s peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.
