Philippians Chapter 4
4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so
stand fast in the Lord,
my
dearly beloved.
4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in
the Lord.
4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured
with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and
with
other my fellowlabourers, whose names
are
in the book of life.
4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway:
and
again I say, Rejoice.
4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord
is
at hand.
4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are
honest, whatsoever things
are
just, whatsoever 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.
4:9 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.
4:10. 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.
4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever
state I am,
therewith
to be content.
4:12 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.
4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
4:14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my
affliction.
4:15 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.
4:16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
4:17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your
account.
4:18 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, wellpleasing to
God.
4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus.
4:20 Now unto God and our Father
be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
4:21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet
you.
4:22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be
with you all. Amen.
