¹Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and wreath, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved.

²I exhort Euodia and I exhort Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord;

³yes, I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, who labored together with me in the good news, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

⁵Let your gentleness be known to all people. The Lord is near.

⁶Worry about nothing, but in everything, by prayer and by supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

⁷And the wholeness of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in the Anointed One Jesus.

⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is venerable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if there is any excellence and if there is any praise — think on these things;

⁹What you also learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these things, and the God of wholeness will be with you.

¹⁰But I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that now at last you revived your care for me, about which you were indeed concerned, but you lacked opportunity.

¹¹Not that I speak with respect to destitution; for I myself learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

¹²I also know how to be brought low, I also know how to abound; in everything and in all things, I have learned the secret — both to be full and to hunger, both to abound and to be in need.

¹³I have strength for all things in the Anointed One who strengthens me.

¹⁴Nevertheless you did well, by sharing in my affliction.

¹⁵Now you yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news, when I went out from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you alone;

¹⁶because even in Thessalonica you sent, both once and twice, for my need.

¹⁷Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is abounding to your account;

¹⁸But I have everything and abound; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

¹⁹And my God will fill every need of yours according to his riches in glory in the Anointed One Jesus.

²⁰Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

²¹Greet every holy one in the Anointed One Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.

²²All the holy ones greet you, now especially those from Caesar's household.

²³The favor of our Lord Jesus the Anointed One be with your spirit. Amen. It was written to the Philippians from Rome through Epaphroditus.
