Philippians 4

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

1 Ref Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.

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

3 Ref Yea, I beseech thee also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

4 Ref Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.

5 Ref Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Ref In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 Ref And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

8 Ref Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, 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 Ref The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

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

11 Ref Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content.

12 Ref I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.

13 Ref I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.

14 Ref Howbeit ye did well that ye had fellowship with my affliction.

15 Ref And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye only;

16 Ref for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need.

17 Ref Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account.

18 Ref But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things `that came' from you, and odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

19 Ref And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

20 Ref Now unto our God and Father `be' the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Ref Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you.

22 Ref All the saints salute you, especially they that are of Caesar's household.

23 Ref The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

King James Version (KJV)

1 Ref Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

2 Ref I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

3 Ref 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 Ref Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Ref Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Ref Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 Ref And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Ref 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 Ref 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 Ref 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 Ref Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

12 Ref 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 Ref I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

14 Ref Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

15 Ref 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 Ref For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

17 Ref Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

18 Ref 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 Ref But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 Ref Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Ref Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
