Philippians 4

1Wherefore, my brethren belovedG27 and longed for, my joyG5479 and crownG4735, so standG4739 fast in the LordG2962, my belovedG27.

2I exhortG3870 Euodia, and I exhortG3870 Syntyche, to be of the sameG846 mindG5426 in the LordG2962. 3Yea, I beseech thee alsoG2532, trueG1103 yokefellow, helpG4815 these women, for they labored with me in the gospelG2098, with Clement alsoG2532, and the restG3062 of my fellow-workers, whose namesG3686 are in the bookG976 of lifeG2222.

4RejoiceG5463 in the LordG2962 alwaysG3842: againG3825 I will sayG3004, RejoiceG5463. 5Let your forbearance be knownG1097 unto all menG444. The LordG2962 is at hand. 6In nothingG3367 be anxiousG3309; but in everythingG3956 by prayerG4335 and supplicationG1162 with thanksgivingG2169 let your requestsG155 be madeG1107 known unto GodG2316. 7And the peaceG1515 of GodG2316, which passeth all understandingG3563, shall guard your heartsG2588 and your thoughts in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

8FinallyG3063, brethren, whatsoever thingsG3778 areG1510 trueG227, whatsoever thingsG3778 areG1510 honorable, whatsoever thingsG3778 areG1510 justG1342, whatsoever thingsG3778 areG1510 pureG53, whatsoever thingsG3778 areG1510 lovely, whatsoever thingsG3778 areG1510 of good report; if there beG1510 any virtue, and if there beG1510 any praiseG1868, think on these thingsG3778. 9The thingsG3778 which ye both learnedG3129 and receivedG3880 and heardG191 and sawG3708 in me, these thingsG3778 do: and the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 shall beG1510 with you.

10But I rejoiceG5463 in the LordG2962 greatly, that nowG1161 at length ye have revived your thought for me; wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked opportunity. 11Not that I speakG3004 in respect of want: for I have learnedG3129, in whatsoever state I amG1510, therein to beG1510 content. 12I know how to be abased, and I know alsoG2532 how to aboundG4052: in everythingG3956 and in all thingsG3956 have I learned the secret both to be filledG5526 and to be hungryG3983, both to aboundG4052 and to be in want. 13I can do all thingsG3956 in him that strengtheneth me. 14Howbeit ye did wellG2573 that ye had fellowship with my afflictionG2347. 15And ye yourselvesG4771 alsoG2532 know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospelG2098, whenG3753 I departedG1831 from MacedoniaG3109, no churchG1577 had fellowship with me in the matterG3056 of giving and receiving but ye onlyG3441; 16for evenG2532 in ThessalonicaG2332 ye sentG3992 onceG530 and again unto my needG5532. 17Not that I seekG1934 for the giftG1390; but I seekG1934 for the fruitG2590 that increaseth to your accountG3056. 18But I have all thingsG3956, and aboundG4052: I am filledG4137, having receivedG1209 from EpaphroditusG1891 the thingsG3956 that came from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrificeG2378 acceptable, well-pleasingG2101 to GodG2316. 19And my GodG2316 shall supply every needG5532 of yours accordingG2596 to his richesG4149 in gloryG1391 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 20NowG1161 unto our GodG2316 and FatherG3962 be the gloryG1391 for ever and ever. AmenG281.

21Salute every saintG40 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. The brethren that are with me salute you. 22All the saintsG40 salute you, especiallyG3122 they that are of Cæsar’s householdG3614.

23The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be with your spiritG4151.
