1. 1So then, my dear brothers and sisters — you whom I love and long for, my joy and my crown — stand firm in the Lord, my beloved ones.
2. 2I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree in the Lord.
3. 3And I ask you too, my true partner, to help these women. They worked side by side with me to spread the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are written in the book of life.
4. 4Rejoice in the Lord always; I will say it again, rejoice!
5. 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
6. 6Do not be anxious about anything; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7. 7Then the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8. 8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is well spoken of — if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — think about these things.
9. 9Put into practice everything you've learned from me, received from me, heard from me, and seen me do. And the God of peace will be with you.
10. 10I was overjoyed in the Lord that you've finally been able to show your concern for me again. You always cared — you just didn't have the chance to show it.
11. 11I'm not saying this because I'm in need. I've learned to be content no matter what my circumstances are.
12. 12I know how to live with little, and I know how to live with plenty. In every situation, I am instructed to be full and to be hungry, to have abundance and to be in need.
13. 13I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength.
14. 14Even so, it was good of you to share in my troubles.
15. 15You Philippians know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, not a single church partnered with me in giving and receiving — except you.
16. 16Even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent help for my needs more than once.
17. 17It's not that I want a gift; rather, I want fruit that will increase to your account.
18. 18I have everything I need and more. I'm fully supplied now that Epaphroditus has delivered your gifts to me. They are a fragrant offering — a sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.
19. 19And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20. 20To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
21. 21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters with me send their greetings too.
22. 22All the saints send you greetings, especially those who are of Caesar's household.
23. 23May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
