New American Standard Bible 2020

Think of Excellence

1ThereforeG5620, my belovedG27 brothersG80 and sisters, 1whom I 2longG1973 to see, my joyG5479 and crownG4735, 3standG4739 firmG4739 in the LordG2962 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779, my belovedG27.

2I urgeG3870 EuodiaG2136 and I urgeG3870 SyntycheG4941 to 45liveG5426 inG5426 harmonyG846G5426 in the LordG2962. 3IndeedG3483, trueG1103 6companionG4805, I askG2065 you alsoG2532, helpG4815 theseG846 womenG846 whoG3748 have sharedG4866 my struggleG4866 in the cause of the gospelG2098, togetherG3326 with ClementG2815 asG2532 wellG2532 asG2532 the restG3062 of my 7fellowG4904 workersG4904, whoseG3739 8namesG3686 are in the bookG976 of lifeG2222.

49RejoiceG5463 in the LordG2962 alwaysG3842; againG3825 I will sayG3004, rejoiceG5463! 5Let your gentleG1933 spirit be knownG1097 to allG3956 peopleG444. 10The LordG2962 is 11nearG1451. 612Do not 13be anxiousG3309 aboutG3309 anythingG3367, but in everythingG3956 by 14prayerG4335 and pleadingG1162 with thanksgivingG2169 let your requestsG155 be madeG1107 knownG1107 to GodG2316. 7And 15the peaceG1515 of GodG2316, which surpassesG5242 allG3956 16comprehensionG3563, will 17guardG5432 your heartsG2588 and 18mindsG3540 in 19ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

8FinallyG3062, brothersG80 and sisters, 20whateverG3745 is trueG227, whateverG3745 is honorableG4586, whateverG3745 is rightG1342, whateverG3745 is pureG53, whateverG3745 is 21lovelyG4375, whateverG3745 is commendableG2163, ifG1487 there is anyG5100 excellenceG703 and ifG1487 anythingG5100 worthyG1868 ofG1868 praiseG1868, thinkG3049 aboutG3049 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 9As for the thingsG3739 you have learnedG3129 and receivedG3880 and heardG191 and seenG3708 22in me, practiceG4238 theseG3778 thingsG3778, and 23the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 will be with you.

God’s Provisions

10But I rejoicedG5463 in the LordG2962 greatlyG3171, that nowG2235 at lastG4218 24you have revivedG330 your concernG5426 for me; indeedG2532, you were concernedG5426 before, but you lackedG170 anG170 opportunityG170 to act. 11Not that I speakG3004 25from needG5304, for I have learnedG3129 to be 2627contentG842 in whateverG3739 circumstances I amG1510. 12I knowG3609 howG3609 to getG5013 alongG5013 withG5013 littleG5013, and I alsoG2532 knowG3609 howG3609 to liveG4052 inG4052 prosperityG4052; in anyG3956 and everyG3956 circumstance I have learnedG3453 theG3453 secretG3453 of being filledG5526 and goingG3983 28hungryG3983, bothG2532 of havingG4052 abundanceG4052 and 29sufferingG5302 needG5302. 13I canG2480 doG2480 allG3956 thingsG3956 30throughG1722 Him who 31strengthensG1743 me. 14NeverthelessG4133, you have doneG4160 wellG2573 to 32shareG4790 with me in my difficultyG2347.

15You yourselvesG4771 alsoG2532 knowG3609, PhilippiansG5374, that at the 3334firstG746 preaching of the gospelG2098, afterG3753 I leftG1831 35MacedoniaG3109, noG3762 churchG1577 36sharedG2841 with me in the matterG3056 of givingG1394 and receivingG3025 exceptG1508 you aloneG3441; 16for evenG2532 in 37ThessalonicaG2332 you sentG3992 a gift moreG2532G1364 thanG2532 onceG530 for my needsG5532. 1738Not that I seekG1934 the giftG1390 itself, but I seekG1934 the 39profitG2590 which increasesG4121 to your accountG3056. 18But I haveG568 receivedG568 everythingG3956 in fullG568 and haveG4052 anG4052 abundanceG4052; I am 40amplyG4137 suppliedG4137, having receivedG1209 from 41EpaphroditusG1891 42what you have sentG3844, 4344a fragrantG2175 aromaG3744, an acceptableG1184 sacrificeG2378, pleasingG2101 to GodG2316. 19And 45my GodG2316 will supplyG4137 46allG3956 your needsG5532 accordingG2596 to His 47richesG4149 in gloryG1391 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 20NowG1161 to 48our GodG2316 and FatherG3962 49be the gloryG1391 50foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.

21GreetG782 everyG3956 51saintG40 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 52The brothersG80 who are with me greetG782 you. 2253AllG3956 the 5455saintsG40 greetG782 you, especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 of Caesar’sG2541 householdG3614.
