2I pray Euodias, and beseech Sintiches that they be of one accord in the Lord. 3Yea and I beseech thee faithful yokefellow, help the women which laboured with me in the gospell, and with Clement also, and with other my labourfellows, whose names are in the book of life.

4Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice. 5Let your softness be known unto all men. The Lord is even at hand. 6Be not carefull: but in all things shew your petition unto God in prayer and supplication with giving of thanks. 7And the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts, and minds in Christ Iesu.

8Furthermore brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things pertain to love, whatsoever things are of honest report, if there be any virtuous thing, if there be any laudable thing, those same have ye in your mind, 9which ye have both learned and received, heard and also seen in me: those things do, and the God of peace shall be with you.

10I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at the last ye are revived, and are waxed mindfull of me again in that wherein ye were also mindfull, but ye lacked opportunity. 11I speak not because of necessity. For I have learned in whatsoever estate I am, therewith to be content. 12I can both cast down myself, I can also exceed. Everywhere, and in all things I am instructed, both to be full, and to be hungry: to have plenty, and to suffer need. 13I can do all things thorow the help of Christ, which strengtheneth me. 14Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye bare part with me in my tribulation.

15Ye of Philippos know that in the beginning of the gospell, when I departed from Macedonia, no congregation bare part with me as concerning giving and receiving but ye only. 16For when I was in Thessalonica, ye sent once, and afterward again, unto my needs: 17not that I desire gifts: but I desire abundant fruit on your part. 18I received all, and have plenty. I was even filled after that I had received of Epaphroditus, that which came from you, an odor that smelleth sweet, a sacrifice accepted and pleasant to God. 19My God fulfil all your needs thorow his glorious riches in Iesu Christ. 20Unto God and our father be praise for ever more Amen.

21Salute all the saints in Christ Iesu. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22All the saints salute you: and most of all they which are of the emperors household.

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