1 Therefore, my brothers,¹ whom I love and long for, my ^ljoy and crown, ^mstand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

2 I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to ⁿagree in the Lord. 3 Yes, I ask you also, true companion,² help these women, who have ^olabored³ side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the ^pbook of life.

4 ^qRejoice in the Lord ^ralways; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness⁴ be known to everyone. The Lord is ^sat hand; 6 ^tdo not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication ^uwith thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the ^vpeace of God, which ^wsurpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 ^xWhat you have learned⁵ and ^yreceived and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned, in whatever situation I am, to be ^zcontent. 12 I know ^ahow to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who ^bstrengthens me.

14 Yet it was kind of you to share⁶ my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that ^cin the beginning of the gospel, ^dwhen I left Macedonia, ^eno church entered into ^fpartnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the ^gfruit that increases to your credit.⁷ 18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And ^hmy God will supply every need of yours according to his ⁱriches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 ^jTo our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. 22 ^kAll the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household.

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