Think of Excellence

1ThereforeG5620, my belovedG27 brethrenG80 1whomG1973 I 2longG1973 to see, my joyG5479 and crownG4735, in thisG3779 wayG3779 3standG4739 firmG4739 in the LordG2962, my belovedG27.

2I urgeG3870 EuodiaG2136 and I urgeG3870 SyntycheG4941 to 45liveG5426 in harmonyG5426 in the LordG2962. 3IndeedG3483, trueG1103 companionG4805, I askG2065 you alsoG2532 to helpG4815 theseG3778 womenG846 whoG3748 have sharedG4866 my struggleG4866 in the cause of the gospelG2098, togetherG3326 with ClementG2815 alsoG2532 and the restG3062 of my 6fellowG4904 workersG4904, whoseG3739 7namesG3686 are in the bookG976 of lifeG2222.

48RejoiceG5463 in the LordG2962 alwaysG3842; againG3825 I will sayG3004, rejoiceG5463! 5Let your gentleG1933 spirit be knownG1097 to allG3956 menG444. 9The LordG2962 is 10nearG1451. 611Be anxiousG3309 for nothingG3367, but in everythingG3956 by 12prayerG4335 and supplicationG1162 with thanksgivingG2169 let your requestsG155 be madeG1107 knownG1107 to GodG2316. 7And 13the peaceG1515 of GodG2316, which surpassesG5242 allG3956 14comprehensionG3563, will 15guardG5432 your heartsG2588 and your 16mindsG3540 in 17ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

8FinallyG3062, brethrenG80, 18whateverG3745 is trueG227, whateverG3745 is honorableG4586, whateverG3745 is rightG1342, whateverG3745 is pureG53, whateverG3745 is 19lovelyG4375, whateverG3745 is of goodG2163 reputeG2163, ifG1487 there is anyG5100 excellenceG703 and ifG1487 anythingG5100 worthyG1868 of praiseG1868, 20dwellG3049 on theseG3778 thingsG3778. 9The thingsG3739 you have learnedG3129 and receivedG3880 and heardG191 and seenG3708 21in me, practiceG4238 theseG3778 thingsG3778, and 22the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 will be with you.

God’s Provisions

10But I rejoicedG5463 in the LordG2962 greatlyG3171, that nowG2235 at lastG4218 23you have revivedG330 your concernG5426 for me; indeedG2532, you were concernedG5426 before, but you lackedG170 opportunityG170. 11Not that I speakG3004 24from wantG5304, for I have learnedG3129 to be 2526contentG842 in whateverG3739 circumstancesG1722 I amG1510. 12I knowG3609 howG3609 to getG5013 alongG5013 with humbleG5013 meansG5013, and I alsoG2532 knowG3609 howG3609 to liveG4052 in prosperityG4052; in anyG3956 and everyG3956 circumstanceG1722 I have learnedG3453 the secretG3453 of being filledG5526 and goingG3983 27hungryG3983, bothG2532 of havingG4052 abundanceG4052 and 28sufferingG5302 needG5302. 13I canG2480 doG2480 allG3956 thingsG3956 29throughG1722 Him who 30strengthensG1743 me. 14NeverthelessG4133, you have doneG4160 wellG2573 to 31shareG4790 with me in my afflictionG2347.

15You yourselvesG4771 alsoG2532 knowG3609, PhilippiansG5374, that at the 3233firstG746 preachingG746 of the gospelG2098, afterG3753 I leftG1831 34MacedoniaG3109, noG3762 churchG1577 35sharedG2841 with me in the matterG3056 of givingG1394 and receivingG3025 but you aloneG3441; 16for evenG2532 in 36ThessalonicaG2332 you sentG3992 a gift moreG2532G1364 thanG2532 onceG530 for my needsG5532. 1737Not that I seekG1934 the giftG1390 itself, but I seekG1934 for the 38profitG2590 which increasesG4121 to your accountG3056. 18But I haveG568 receivedG568 everythingG3956 in fullG568 and haveG4052 an abundanceG4052; I am 39amplyG4137 suppliedG4137, having receivedG1209 from 40EpaphroditusG1891 41what you have sentG3844, 4243a fragrantG2175 aromaG3744, an acceptableG1184 sacrificeG2378, well-pleasingG2101 to GodG2316. 19And 44my GodG2316 will supplyG4137 45allG3956 your needsG5532 accordingG2596 to His 46richesG4149 in gloryG1391 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 20NowG1161 to 47our GodG2316 and FatherG3962 48be the gloryG1391 49foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.

21GreetG782 everyG3956 50saintG40 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 51The brethrenG80 who are with me greetG782 you. 2252AllG3956 the 5354saintsG40 greetG782 you, especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 of Caesar’sG2541 householdG3614.

2355The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 56be with your spiritG4151.
