-
I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
-
Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
-
Final Exhortations
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
-
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
-
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
-
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
-
Thanks for Their Gifts
I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
-
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
-
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
-
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
-
Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
-
Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;
-
for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.
-
I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
-
Final Greetings
Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.
-
All God’s people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.
-
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
