腓立比书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
保罗的劝勉
4 我所亲爱、所想念的弟兄姊妹,你们就是我的喜乐,我的冠冕。我亲爱的弟兄姊妹,你们要靠主坚定不移。 2 我恳求友阿蝶和循都姬要在主里同心。 3 忠心的同工啊,请你帮助她们二人,因为她们曾与我、革利免和其他同工一起为福音辛劳,这些人的名字都记录在生命册上了。
4 你们要靠主常常喜乐!我再说,你们要喜乐! 5 要让众人都知道你们是谦和宽容的人。主快来了。 6 你们应该一无挂虑,凡事要借着祷告和祈求,以感恩的心将你们的需要告诉上帝。 7 这样,上帝那超越人所能理解的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心思意念。
8 最后,弟兄姊妹,你们要思想一切真实、可敬、公义、纯洁、可爱、有好名声、有美德和值得赞许的事情。 9 你们从我身上学习、领受、看到和听到的,都要照着去行。这样,赐平安的上帝就必与你们同在。
致谢
10 我在主里真是非常喜乐,因为你们现在又一次关心我。其实你们向来都很关心我,只是没有机会。 11 我并非有缺乏才这样说,因为我已经学会在任何处境中都能知足。 12 我知道如何过贫穷的日子,也知道如何过富足的日子。我学到了秘诀,不论饱足或饥饿,丰裕或缺乏,在任何情况下都可以处之泰然。 13 靠着赐我力量的那位,我凡事都能做。
14 然而,你们与我共患难,真是太好了。 15 腓立比人啊!你们也知道,在我离开马其顿传福音的初期,除了你们以外,没有别的教会供应我的需要。 16 即使我在帖撒罗尼迦的时候,你们也不止一次供应过我的需要。 17 我不求得到你们的馈赠,只希望你们所做的会带给你们更大的赏赐。 18 我现在样样都有,丰富有余。我从以巴弗提手上收到了你们送给我的礼物,已经充足了。这些馈赠是蒙上帝悦纳的馨香祭物。 19 我的上帝必按照祂在基督耶稣里的荣耀,丰丰富富地赐给你们所需用的一切。
20 愿荣耀归给我们的父上帝,直到永永远远。阿们!
问候
21 请代我问候在基督耶稣里的众圣徒。我这里的弟兄姊妹也问候你们。 22 所有的圣徒,特别是在凯撒宫里工作的人,都问候你们。
23 愿主耶稣基督的恩典与你们的灵同在!
Philippians 4
New English Translation
Christian Practices
4 So then, my brothers and sisters,[a] dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!
2 I appeal to Euodia and to Syntyche to agree in the Lord. 3 Yes, I say also to you, true companion,[b] help them. They have struggled together in the gospel ministry[c] along with me and Clement and my other coworkers, whose names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! 5 Let everyone see your gentleness.[d] The Lord is near! 6 Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds[e] in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters,[f] whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. 9 And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.
Appreciation for Support
10 I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.)[g] 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance. 12 I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment,[h] whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing. 13 I am able to do all things[i] through the one[j] who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, you did well to share with me in my trouble.
15 And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone. 16 For even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion[k] you sent something for my need. 17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift.[l] Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account. 18 For I have received everything, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus what you sent—a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply your every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 20 May glory be given to God our Father forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
21 Give greetings to all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers[m] with me here send greetings. 22 All the saints greet you, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.[n]
Footnotes
- Philippians 4:1 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
- Philippians 4:3 tn Or “faithful fellow worker.” This is more likely a descriptive noun, although some scholars interpret the word σύζυγος (suzugos) here as a proper name (“Syzygos”), L&N 42.45.
- Philippians 4:3 tn Grk “in the gospel,” a metonymy in which the gospel itself is substituted for the ministry of making the gospel known.
- Philippians 4:5 tn Grk “let your gentleness be seen by all.” The passive voice construction has been converted to active voice in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- Philippians 4:7 tn Grk “will guard the hearts of you and the minds of you.” To improve the English style, the second occurrence of ὑμῶν (humōn, “of you”) has not been translated, since it is somewhat redundant in English.
- Philippians 4:8 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
- Philippians 4:10 tn Grk “for you were even concerned, but you lacked opportunity.”
- Philippians 4:12 tn The words “of contentment” are not in the Greek text, but are implied by Paul’s remarks at the end of v. 11.
- Philippians 4:13 tn The Greek word translated “all things” is in emphatic position at the beginning of the Greek sentence.
- Philippians 4:13 tc Although some excellent witnesses lack explicit reference to the one strengthening Paul (so א* A B D* I 33 1739 lat co Cl), the majority of witnesses (א2 D2 [F G] Ψ 075 1175 1241 1505 1881 2464 M al sy Hier) add Χριστῷ (Christō) here (thus, “through Christ who strengthens me”). But this kind of reading is patently secondary, and is a predictable variant. Further, the shorter reading is much harder, for it leaves the agent unspecified.
- Philippians 4:16 tn Or “several times”; Grk, “both once and twice.” The literal expression “once and twice” is frequently used as a Greek idiom referring to an indefinite low number, but more than once (“several times”); see L&N 60.70.
- Philippians 4:17 tn Grk “Not that I am seeking the gift.” The phrase “I do not say this…” has been supplied in the translation to complete the thought for the modern reader.
- Philippians 4:21 tn Or perhaps, “The brothers and sisters” (so TEV, TNIV; cf. NRSV “The friends”; CEV “The Lord’s followers”) If “brothers” refers to Paul’s traveling companions, it is probably that only men are in view (cf. NAB, NLT). Since v. 22 mentions “all the saints,” which presumably includes everyone, it is more probable here that only Paul’s traveling companions are in view.
- Philippians 4:23 tc Most witnesses, including several significant ones (P46 א A D Ψ 33 1175 1241 1505 2464 M lat sy bo), have ἀμήν (amēn, “amen”) at the end of this letter, while an impressive combination of Alexandrian and Western mss (B F G 075 6 075 1739* 1881 sa Ambst) lack the valedictory particle. Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. Thus, on internal grounds, with sufficient support from external evidence, the preferred reading is the omission of ἀμήν.
Philippians 4
King James Version
4 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 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 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 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 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 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 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where 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 things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
15 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 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 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 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

4 De aceea, preaiubiţii şi mult doriţii(A) mei fraţi, bucuria(B) şi cununa mea, rămâneţi(C) astfel tari în Domnul, preaiubiţilor! 2 Îndemn pe Evodia şi îndemn pe Sintichia să fie cu un gând(D) în Domnul. 3 Şi pe tine, adevărat tovarăş de jug, te rog să vii în ajutorul femeilor acestora, care au lucrat(E) împreună cu mine pentru Evanghelie, cu Clement şi cu ceilalţi tovarăşi de lucru ai mei, ale căror nume sunt scrise în cartea(F) vieţii. 4 Bucuraţi-vă(G) totdeauna în Domnul! Iarăşi zic: Bucuraţi-vă! 5 Blândeţea voastră să fie cunoscută de toţi oamenii. Domnul este aproape(H). 6 Nu(I) vă îngrijoraţi de nimic, ci, în orice lucru, aduceţi cererile voastre la cunoştinţa lui Dumnezeu, prin rugăciuni şi cereri, cu mulţumiri. 7 Şi pacea(J) lui Dumnezeu, care întrece orice pricepere, vă va păzi inimile şi gândurile în Hristos Isus. 8 Încolo, fraţii mei, tot ce este adevărat, tot ce este vrednic de cinste, tot ce este drept, tot ce este curat, tot(K) ce este vrednic de iubit, tot ce este vrednic de primit, orice faptă bună şi orice laudă, aceea să vă însufleţească. 9 Ce(L) aţi învăţat, ce aţi primit şi auzit de la mine şi ce aţi văzut în mine, faceţi. Şi Dumnezeul(M) păcii va fi cu voi. 10 Am avut o mare bucurie în Domnul, că, în sfârşit, aţi putut să vă înnoiţi iarăşi simţămintele(N) voastre faţă de mine. Vă gândeaţi voi la aşa ceva, dar vă lipsea prilejul. 11 Nu zic lucrul acesta având în vedere nevoile mele; căci m-am deprins să fiu(O) mulţumit cu starea în care mă găsesc. 12 Ştiu(P) să trăiesc smerit şi ştiu să trăiesc în belşug. În totul şi pretutindeni m-am deprins să fiu sătul şi flămând, să fiu în belşug şi să fiu în lipsă. 13 Pot totul(Q) în Hristos, care mă întăreşte. 14 Dar bine aţi făcut că aţi(R) luat parte la strâmtorarea mea. 15 Ştiţi voi înşivă, filipenilor, că, la începutul Evangheliei, când am plecat din Macedonia, nicio(S) Biserică n-a avut legătură cu mine în ceea ce priveşte „darea” şi „primirea” afară de voi. 16 Căci mi-aţi trimis în Tesalonic, o dată şi chiar de două ori, ceva pentru nevoile mele. 17 Nu că umblu după daruri. Dimpotrivă, umblu după câştigul(T) care prisoseşte în folosul vostru. 18 Am de toate şi sunt în belşug. Sunt bogat de când am primit prin Epafrodit(U) ce mi-aţi trimis…, un miros(V) de bună mireasmă, o jertfă(W) bine primită şi plăcută lui Dumnezeu. 19 Şi Dumnezeul meu să îngrijească(X) de toate trebuinţele voastre după(Y) bogăţia Sa, în slavă, în Isus Hristos. 20 A lui(Z) Dumnezeu şi Tatăl nostru să fie slava în vecii vecilor! Amin. 21 Spuneţi sănătate fiecărui sfânt în Hristos Isus.
Fraţii care(AA) sunt cu mine vă trimit sănătate. 22 Toţi sfinţii vă trimit sănătate, mai(AB) ales cei din casa cezarului. 23 Harul(AC) Domnului Isus Hristos să fie cu voi cu toţi! Amin.
