Philippians 4:4–13

^4aRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

⁵Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. ^aThe Lord is ¹near.

^6aBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by ^bprayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

⁷And ^athe peace of God, which surpasses all ¹comprehension, will ^bguard your hearts and your ^cminds in ^dChrist Jesus.

⁸Finally, brethren, ^awhatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is ¹lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, ²dwell on these things.

⁹The things you have learned and received and heard and seen ^ain me, practice these things, and ^bthe God of peace will be with you.

God’s Provisions

¹⁰But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last ^ayou have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.

¹¹Not that I speak ¹from want, for I have learned to be ^2acontent in whatever circumstances I am.

¹²I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going ^ahungry, both of having abundance and ^bsuffering need.

¹³I can do all things ¹through Him who ^astrengthens me.
