Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.

And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.

and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Timothy and Epaphroditus
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.

And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
-
So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,

No Confidence in the Flesh
Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.

Closing Appeal for Steadfastness and Unity
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!

I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
-
Final Exhortations
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
-
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
-
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-
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.
-
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
