New Living Translation

1Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!

1Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work. Words of Encouragement

2I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

2Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement.

3Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

3And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life.

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

4Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!

5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

5Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

6Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

7Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

8And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

9Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Paul’s Thanks for Their Gifts

10I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

10How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me.

11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

11Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.

12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

12I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.

13I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

13For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

14Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.

14Even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty.

15Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;

15As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help when I first brought you the Good News and then traveled on from Macedonia. No other church did this.

16for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.

16Even when I was in Thessalonica you sent help more than once.

17Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.

17I don’t say this because I want a gift from you. Rather, I want you to receive a reward for your kindness.

18I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

18At the moment I have all I need—and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.

19And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

19And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

20To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

20Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen. Paul’s Final Greetings

21Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.

21Give my greetings to each of God’s holy people—all who belong to Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their greetings.

22All God's people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household.

22And all the rest of God’s people send you greetings, too, especially those in Caesar’s household.

23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

23May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
