Philippians 4:2-8

2I say this to Euodia and to Syntyche: ‘You belong to the Lord, so please agree with each other. Stop arguing.’

3I ask you too, my true friend, please help these two women to agree together. They have worked with me to tell people the good news. They have worked very hard to help me. They worked together with Clement, and with the other people who helped me in the work. All those workers' names are written in God's book of life.

4Always be happy because you belong to the Lord. I will say that again, ‘Be happy!’

5Be kind and patient in a way that everyone can see. Remember that the Lord is near.

6Do not worry about anything. Instead, pray to God about everything. Ask him to help you with the things that you need. And thank him for his help.

7If you do that, God will give you peace in your minds. That peace is so great that nobody can completely understand it. You will not worry or be afraid, because you belong to Christ Jesus.

8Now my friends, I want to say this to you. Fill your minds with thoughts about good things. Think about things that are true, clean, right and lovely. Always think about things which people know are very good.
