Philippians 4:2–9

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.

⁸In conclusion, my brothers and sisters, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honourable. ⁹Put into practice what you learnt and received from me, both from my words and from my actions. And the God who gives us peace will be with you.
