4 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and alonged for, bcmy joy and cdcrown, so ddstand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that ethey be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, ftrue yokefellow, help those women which glaboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my hfellowlabourers, whose names are in ithe book of life.

4 kRejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your lmoderation be known unto all men. mThe Lord is at hand. 6 nBe careful for nothing; but in every thing by oprayer and osupplication owith thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And pthe peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and qminds pthrough Christ Jesus. 8 rFinally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are ||shonest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are tpure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are uof good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 vThose things, which ye have both learned, and wreceived, and heard, and seen in me, do: and xthe God of peace shall be with you.

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last yyour care of me ||hath flourished again; zwherein ye were also careful, but aye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of bwant: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be ccontent. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed dboth to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things ethrough Christ fwhich strengtheneth me. 14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that gye did communicate with my affliction. 15 Now ye Philippians know also, that hin the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from iMacedonia, kno church communicated with me as concerning lgiving and receiving, but ye only. 16 For even in mThessalonica ye sent once and again unto my nnecessity. 17 oNot because I desire a gift: but I desire pfruit that may abound to your account. 18 But ||I qhave all, and abound: I am full, rhaving received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, san odour of a sweet smell, ta sacrifice acceptable, uwellpleasing to God. 19 But my God wshall supply all your nneed xaccording to his riches yin glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto zGod and our Father be aglory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. bThe brethren which are with me greet you. 22 cAll the saints salute you, chiefly dthey that are of Caesar’s household. 23 eThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
