Philippians 4:4-13
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. (B)The Lord is [a]near. 6 (C)Do not [b]be anxious about anything, but in everything by (D)prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And (E)the peace of God, which surpasses all [c]comprehension, will (F)guard your hearts and (G)minds in (H)Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, (I)whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [d]lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen (J)in me, practice these things, and (K)the God of peace will be with you.
God’s Provisions
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last (L)you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked an opportunity to act. 11 Not that I speak [e]from need, for I have learned to be [f](M)content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with little, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going (N)hungry, both of having abundance and (O)suffering need. 13 I can do all things [g]through Him who (P)strengthens me.
