1Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

Let there Be No Strife

2I urge Euodias, and urge Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

3And I entreat you also, true yokefellow, help those women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other of my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

Rejoice in the Lord Always

4Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5Let your fairness be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Think on these Things

8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Thanks for Philippian Generosity

10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me has flourished again; in which you were also concerned, but you lacked opportunity.

11Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content.

12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

14Nevertheless you have done well, that you did share in my affliction.

15Now you Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only.

16For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again unto my necessity.

17Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

18But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

19But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

22All the saints greet you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
