- Kapitel 4 -

1
Therefore, my dearly beloved brethren, and most desired, my joy and my crown; so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2
I beg of Evodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of one mind in the Lord.
3
And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
4
Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice.
5
Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is nigh.
6
Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.
7
And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things.
9
The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God of peace shall be with you.

The Generosity of the Philippians

(2 Corinthians 8:1–15)
10
Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, that now at length your thought for me hath flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied.
11
I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith.
12
I know both how to be brought low, and I know how to abound: (everywhere, 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 these things in him who strengtheneth me.
14
Nevertheless you have done well in communicating to my tribulation.
15
And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only:
16
For unto Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use.
17
Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account.
18
But I have all, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19
And may my God supply all your want, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20
Now to God and our Father be glory world without end. Amen.

Final Greetings

(Ephesians 6:21–24; 2 Timothy 4:19–22)
21
Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus.
22
The brethren who are with me, salute you. All the saints salute you; especially they that are of Caesar’s household.
23
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
1
Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
2
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
3
Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4
Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
5
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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 your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8
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 anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
9
Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

The Generosity of the Philippians

(2 Corinthians 8:1–15)
10
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
Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12
I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14
However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
15
You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
16
For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17
Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
18
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
My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20
Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

Final Greetings

(Ephesians 6:21–24; 2 Timothy 4:19–22)
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 you all. Amen.
