# Philippians 4

**1** Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy COLOSSIANS. and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
**2** I beseech, Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
**3** And I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
**4** Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice.
**5** Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
**6** Be afflicted for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
**7** And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
**8** Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
**9** Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do; and the God of peace shall be with you.
**10** But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
**11** Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
**12** I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound; every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
**13** I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
**14** Notwithstanding, ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
**15** Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
**16** For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
**17** Not because I desire a gift; but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
**18** But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.
**19** But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
**20** Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
**21** Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
**22** All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
**23** The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
**24** It was written to the Philippians from Rome by Epaphroditus.
