1 Therefore, my beloved brethren 1Lit and longed forwhom I APhil 1:8long to see, my joy and crown, in this way B1 Cor 16:13; Phil 1:27stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

2 I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to 1Or be of the same mindAPhil 2:2live in harmony in the Lord. 3 Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my APhil 2:25fellow workers, whose BLuke 10:20names are in the book of life.

4 APhil 3:1Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. A1 Cor 16:22 mg; Heb 10:37; James 5:8fThe Lord is 1Or at handnear. 6 AMatt 6:25Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by BEph 6:18; 1 Tim 2:1; 5:5prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And AIs 26:3; John 14:27; Phil 4:9; Col 3:15the peace of God, which surpasses all 1Lit mindcomprehension, will B1 Pet 1:5guard your hearts and your C2 Cor 10:5minds in DPhil 1:1; 4:19, 21Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, ARom 14:18; 1 Pet 2:12whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is 1Or lovable and graciouslovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, 2Lit ponder these thingsdwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen APhil 3:17in me, practice these things, and BRom 15:33the God of peace will be with you.

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last A2 Cor 11:9; Phil 2:30you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak 1Lit according tofrom want, for I have learned to be 2Or self-sufficientA2 Cor 9:8; 1 Tim 6:6, 8; Heb 13:5content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going A1 Cor 4:11hungry, both of having abundance and B2 Cor 11:9suffering need. 13 I can do all things 1Lit inthrough Him who A2 Cor 12:9; Eph 3:16; Col 1:11strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to AHeb 10:33; Rev 1:9share with me in my affliction.

15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the 1Lit beginning ofAPhil 1:5first preaching of the gospel, after I left BRom 15:26Macedonia, no church C2 Cor 11:9shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; 16 for even in AActs 17:1; 1 Thess 2:9Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 A1 Cor 9:11f; 2 Cor 9:5Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the 1Lit fruitprofit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am 1Lit made fullamply supplied, having received from APhil 2:25Epaphroditus 2Lit the things from youwhat you have sent, 3Lit an odor of fragranceBEx 29:18; 2 Cor 2:14; Eph 5:2a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. 19 And A2 Cor 9:8my God will supply 1Or every need of yoursall your needs according to His BRom 2:4riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to AGal 1:4our God and Father BRom 11:36be the glory 1Lit to the ages of the agesforever and ever. Amen.

21 Greet every 1Or holy onesaint in Christ Jesus. AGal 1:2The brethren who are with me greet you. 22 A2 Cor 13:13All the 1V 21, note 1BActs 9:13saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household.

23 ARom 16:20The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ B2 Tim 4:22be with your spirit.
