Philippians 4
World English Bible (WEB)
1 Ref Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 Ref I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
3 Ref Yes, I beg you also, true yoke-fellow, 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 gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Ref In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 Ref And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 Ref 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 any praise, think about these things.
9 Ref The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 Ref 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.
11 Ref Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12 Ref I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
13 Ref I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
14 Ref However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
15 Ref You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
16 Ref For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17 Ref Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases 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, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
19 Ref My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 Ref Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
21 Ref Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 Ref All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar's household.
23 Ref The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
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.

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.
