4:2 I am encouraging Euodia, and I am encouraging Syntyche, both to be mindful of the same thing in the Lord. 4:3 Yes, I am also requesting you, genuine colleague, help them, the women, who contended together-with me in the good-news, also with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4:4 Rejoice° in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice°. 4:5 Let your° gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is near. 4:6 Be° anxious in nothing, but in everything, let your° requests be made known to God by the prayer and the supplication with thanksgiving. 4:7 And the peace of God, which is superior to all perception, will be guarding your° hearts and your° minds in Christ Jesus.
4:8 Furthermore brethren, as many things as are true*, as many as are dignified, as many as are righteous, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely, as many as have good-repute; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, reason° on these things. 4:9 The things which you° both learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice° these things, and the God of peace will be with you°.
4:10 But I greatly rejoiced in the Lord, that already as previously, you° revived again the desire to be mindful of things on my behalf; in which, you° were even mindful of me, but you° had no opportunity. 4:11 Not that I am speaking according-to my lack of things; for* I have learned in which things I am to be content. 4:12 I know how to be also humbled; I also know how to also abound. I have been initiated in everything, and in all things, both to be fully-fed and to be hungry, both to abound and to lack. 4:13 I am strong in all things in Christ the one empowering me.
4:14 However you° did* well, and have shared together-with my affliction. 4:15 Now you° also know, you° Philippians, that in the beginning of the good-news, when I went forth from Macedonia, no congregation* shared with me in the account {i.e., matter} of giving and receiving, except you° only. 4:16 Because even in Thessalonica, you° sent once and then twice to my need. 4:17 Not that I am seeking after the present, but I am seeking after the fruit which increases to your° account. 4:18 But I fully have all things, and I am abounding. I have been filled and accepted from Epaphroditus the things which came from you°, an aroma of a sweet-fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 4:19 Now my God will be filling every need of yours° according-to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 4:20 Now to our God and Father is the glory forevermore. Amen.
4:21 Greet° every holy-one in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are together-with me greet you°. 4:22 All the holy-ones greet you°, but especially the ones from the house of Caesar.
4:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with all of you°. Amen.
