(A)do not be anxious about anything, (B)but in everything by prayer and supplication (C)with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And (D)the peace of God, (E)which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned[a] and (F)received and heard and seen (G)in me—practice these things, and (H)the God of peace will be with you.

God's Provision

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length (I)you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be (J)content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and (K)hunger, abundance and (L)need. 13 I can do all things (M)through him who strengthens me.

14 Yet it was kind of you (N)to share[b] my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that (O)in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, (P)no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 (Q)Not that I seek the gift, but I seek (R)the fruit that increases to your credit.[c] 18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, (S)having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, (T)a fragrant offering, (U)a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God (V)will supply every need of yours (W)according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To (X)our God and Father be (Y)glory forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Cleanses Ten Lepers

11 (A)On the way to Jerusalem (B)he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers,[a] (C)who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and (D)show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, (E)praising God with a loud voice; 16 and (F)he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was (G)a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not (H)ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and (I)give praise to God except this (J)foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; (K)your faith has (L)made you well.”[b]
