  1. Therefore, my brothers — beloved and longed-for, my joy and crown — stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
  2. I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche — to be of the same mind in the Lord.
  3. Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel — together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
  4. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again — rejoice!
  5. Let your gentleness be known to all people. The Lord is near.
  6. Be anxious for nothing — but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
  7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
  8. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute — if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise — dwell on these things.
  9. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me — practice these things. And the God of peace will be with you.
  10. But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly — that now at last you have revived your concern for me. Indeed you were concerned, but you lacked opportunity.
  11. Not that I am speaking from need — for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be content.
  12. I know how to live humbly, and I know also how to live in abundance. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret — both how to be filled, and how to go hungry; both how to abound, and how to suffer need.

  14. Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction.

  17. Not that I seek the gift — but I seek the fruit that is increasing to your account.

  20. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
  21. Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
  22. All the saints greet you — especially those who are of Caesar's household.
  23. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
