1 S o that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in Lord, beloved.

So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.

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

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

3 y ea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names in book of life.

and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names in the book of life.

4 R ejoice in Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.

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

5 L et your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord near.

let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord near;

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

for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

7 a nd the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.

and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

8 F or the rest, brethren, whatsoever things true, whatsoever things noble, whatsoever things just, whatsoever things pure, whatsoever things amiable, whatsoever things of good report; if any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.

As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as grave, as many as righteous, as many as pure, as many as lovely, as many as of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

9 W hat ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.

10 B ut I rejoiced in Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think, but lacked opportunity.

And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;

11 N ot that I speak as regards privation, for as to me I have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.

not that in respect of want I say, for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content;

12 I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.

I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.

13 I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.

For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

14 B ut ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.

but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;

15 A nd know also ye, O Philippians, that in beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated to me in way of giving and receiving save ye alone;

and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;

16 f or also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.

because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;

17 N ot that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.

not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;

18 B ut I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.

and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you -- an odour of a sweet smell -- a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:

19 B ut my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

20 B ut to our God and Father glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

and to God, even our Father, the glory -- to the ages of the ages. Amen.

21 S alute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who with me salute you.

Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me;

22 A ll the saints salute you, and specially those of the household of Caesar.

there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house;

23 T he grace of the Lord Jesus Christ with your spirit. Amen.

the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
