Philippians:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore ,
my beloved and longed for brothers ,
my joy and crown ,
in this way stand fast in the Lord ,
beloved .
*
I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord .
*
Yes ,
I ask you also ,
true companion ,
help these women who labored together with me in the gospel ,
and with Clement also ,
and the rest of my fellow workers ,
whose names are in the Book of Life .
*
Rejoice in the Lord always .
Again I will say ,
rejoice !
*
Let your gentleness be known to all men .
The Lord is at hand .
*
Be anxious for nothing ,
but in everything by prayer and petition ,
along with thanksgiving ,
let your requests be made known to God ;
*
and the peace of God ,
which surpasses all understanding ,
shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus .
*
Finally ,
brothers ,
as many things as are true ,
as many as are honorable ,
as many as are just ,
as many as are pure ,
as many as are lovely-if there is any virtue and if there is any praise-meditate on these things .
*
The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me ,
practice these things ;
and the God of peace shall be with you .
*
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now once [
again ]
you have revived your mindfulness on my behalf ,
inasmuch as indeed you were mindful ,
but you lacked opportunity .
*
Not that I am speaking with respect to need ,
for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am .
*
I know how to be abased ,
and I know how to abound .
In every place and in all [
circumstances ]
I have learned both to be full and to be hungry ,
both to abound and to be in need .
*
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me .
*
Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my affliction .
*
Now you Philippians also know that in the beginning of the gospel ,
when I went out from Macedonia ,
no church shared with me in an accounting of giving and receiving except you only .
*
Because even in Thessalonica ,
both once and again you sent for my need .
*
Not that I seek the gift ,
but I seek the fruit which is increasing to your account .
*
And I have all things and abound .
I have been made full ,
having received from Epaphroditus the things [
sent ]
from you ,
a fragrant aroma ,
an acceptable sacrifice ,
well pleasing to God .
*
And my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus .
*
Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever .
Amen .
*
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus .
The brothers who are with me greet you .
*
All the saints greet you ,
but especially those of the household of Caesar .
*
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all .
Amen .
