1 Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brothers, my joy and crown, so stand firm in (the) Lord, (my) beloved.
2 I beseech Euodia and I beseech Syntyche to think the same thing in (the) Lord.
3 Yes, I ask you also, genuine companion, help them(=the women) who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names (are) in (the) book of life.
4 Rejoice in (the) Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice.
5 Let your forbearance be known to all men. The Lord (is) near.
6 Be anxious (for) nothing, but in everything (by) prayer and petition, with thanksgivings, let your requests be made known to [the] God.
7 And the peace of God surpassing all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things (are) noble, whatever things (are) right, whatever things (are) pure, whatever things (are) lovely, whatever things (are) admirable, if anything (is) virtuous and anything (is) praiseworthy, think about these things.
9 What you learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these. And the God of peace will be with you.
10 And I rejoiced in (the) Lord greatly that at last you have renewed [the] to think(=your concern) for me; for which(=though) you were indeed thinking, but you were having no opportunity.
11 Not that I am speaking because of lack(=want), for I have learned to be self-sufficient(=content) in whatever (state) I am.
12 I know both (how) to be abased and [I know] (how) to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to lack.
13 I can do all things in(=through) the One strengthening me.
14 Nevertheless you did it well, having shared (in) my distress.
15 And you Philippians know also that in (the) beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, not one church shared (with) me in (the) matter of payment(=giving) and receipt(=receiving) except you alone,
16 for even in Thessalonica you sent once and twice(=again) for my need.
17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit increasing to your account.
18 And I have had all things(=have received full payment) and abound; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you. (They are) a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
19 And my God will fill(=supply) every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 And to our God and Father (be) [the] glory unto the ages of the ages(=for ever and ever). Amen.
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.
22 All the saints greet you, and especially the ones from Caesar’s household (greet you).
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (be) with your spirit.
