Paul’s Letter to the Philippians

capítulo 4

Capítulos:

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

I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.

Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

verso 4

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

verso 5

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

verso 6

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

verso 7

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

verso 8

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

verso 9

Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

verso 10

But I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.

verso 11

Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

verso 12

I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.

verso 13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

verso 14

However you did well that you shared in my affliction.

verso 15

You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.

verso 16

For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.

verso 17

Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

verso 18

But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

verso 19

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

verso 20

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

verso 21

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

verso 22

All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

verso 23

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
