Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy 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 intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in
the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose
names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and
again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The
Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing
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,
wellpleasing 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. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
