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
Worldwide English (New Testament)
4 And so, my brothers, I love you and want very much to be with you. I am very happy about you. And you are like a prize I have won in a race. My dear people, keep on standing firm and strong in the Lord.
2 I beg Euodia and Syntyche to agree to work together. I ask them to be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 I beg you, my real helper, to help these women. They worked hard with me in telling the good news. Clement and my other helpers worked hard with me too. Their names are in God's Book of Life.
4 Always be glad for what the Lord has done, I will say it again, be glad.
5 Let everyone know that you think kindly of others before yourselves. The Lord is near.
6 Do not worry about anything. Talk to God about everything. Thank him for what you have. Ask him for what you need.
7 Then God will give you peace, a peace which is too wonderful to understand. That peace will keep your hearts and minds safe as you trust in Christ Jesus.
8 Here, my brothers, are some things I want you to think about. Think about things that are true, honest, right, clean and pure, things that are lovely, and things that are good to talk about. If they are good, and if they bring praise to God, think about these things.
9 I taught you, and you learned things from me. You heard the things I said, and you saw the things I did. Do these same things yourselves. Then God who gives peace will be with you.
10 The Lord made me very happy to know that you were thinking about me again. Yes, I know you were thinking of me before, but you had no way to help me.
11 I do not mean that I needed it. I have learned to be satisfied with what I have. I am happy with whatever happens to me.
12 I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I am rich. No matter how things are, I have learned how to live: when I have plenty of food, or when I am hungry; when I have more things than I need, and when I do not have enough.
13 I can do all things because Christ gives me strength.
14 But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.
15 When I first told the good news after I left the country of Macedonia, you were the only church people who helped me. You sent me money to pay my expenses.
16 Even when I was in the city of Thessalonica, you sent money to help me more than once.
17 It is not that I want the gift. But I want you to have more and more blessing because you give.
18 I have all I need and more. Yes, I have plenty because Epaphroditus gave me what you sent me. Your gift was like a sweet-smelling offering to God. It was a sacrifice which God took and it pleased him.
19 My God will give you everything you need. He has wonderful riches in heaven because of Christ Jesus.
20 Praise God our Father for ever. Yes, he will do it.
21 Please give my greetings to every one who belongs to Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers who are with me greet you.
22 All of God's people send greetings to you, especially the people of Caesar's house.
23 The loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen, may it be so!
Philippians 4
New King James Version
Be Anxious for Nothing; Think These Thoughts
4 Therefore, my beloved and (A)longed-for brethren, (B)my joy and crown, so (C)stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer
2 I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche (D)to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 [a]And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who (E)labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in (F)the Book of Life.
4 (G)Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your [b]gentleness be known to all men. (H)The Lord is at hand.
6 (I)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with (J)thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and (K)the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are (L)true, whatever things are (M)noble, whatever things are (N)just, (O)whatever things are pure, whatever things are (P)lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and (Q)the God of peace will be with you.
Philippian Generosity
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last (R)your[c] care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, (S)to be content: 12 (T)I know how to [d]be abased, and I know how to [e]abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things (U)through [f]Christ who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless you have done well that (V)you shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, (W)no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek (X)the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I [g]have all and abound. I am full, having received from (Y)Epaphroditus the things sent from you, (Z)a sweet-smelling aroma, (AA)an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God (AB)shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 (AC)Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Greeting and Blessing
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren (AD)who are with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with [h]you all. Amen.
