Philippians 4:1-9

1Therefore, my beloved brethren 1whom I 2long to see, my joy and crown, in this way 3stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

2I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to 45live in harmony in the Lord. 3Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my 6fellow workers, whose 7names are in the book of life.

48Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. 9The Lord is 10near. 611Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by 12prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And 13the peace of God, which surpasses all 14comprehension, will 15guard your hearts and your 16minds in 17Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brethren, 18whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is 19lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, 20dwell on these things. 9The things you have learned and received and heard and seen 21in me, practice these things, and 22the God of peace will be with you.
