^{1 Ref} So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.

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

^{3 Ref} 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 `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 to all men; the Lord `is' near;

^{6 Ref} for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

^{7 Ref} and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

^{8 Ref} As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as `are' grave, as many as `are' righteous, as many as `are' pure, as many as `are' lovely, as many as `are' of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

^{9 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} not that in respect of want I say `it', for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content;

^{12 Ref} 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 Ref} For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

^{14 Ref} but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;

^{15 Ref} 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 Ref} because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;

^{17 Ref} not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;

^{18 Ref} 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 Ref} and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

^{20 Ref} and to God, even our Father, `is' the glory -- to the ages of the ages. Amen.

^{21 Ref} Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me;

^{22 Ref} there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house;

^{23 Ref} the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you all. Amen.
