我所親愛、所想念的弟兄們,你們就是我的喜樂,我的冠冕。我親愛的,你們應當靠主站立得穩。

保羅的勸導

我勸友阿蝶循都基要在主裏同心。 我也求你這真實同負一軛的,要幫助這兩個女人,因為她們在福音上曾與我、革利免和我其餘的同工一同勞苦,他們的名字都在生命冊上。 你們要靠主常常喜樂。我再說,你們要喜樂。 要讓眾人知道你們謙讓的心。主已經近了。 應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉着禱告、祈求和感謝,將你們所要的告訴 神。  神所賜那超越人所能了解的平安[a],必在基督耶穌裏,保守你們的心懷意念。

末了,弟兄們,凡是真實的、凡是可敬的、凡是公義的、凡是清潔的、凡是可愛的、凡是有美名的,若有甚麼德行,若有甚麼稱讚,你們都要留意。 你們從我所學習的,所領受的,所聽見的,所看見的事,你們都要繼續去做,賜平安的 神就必與你們同在。

為饋贈致謝

10 我靠主大大喜樂,因為你們關懷我的心如今又表現了出來;其實你們一直都關懷我,只是沒有機會罷了。 11 我並不是因缺乏而說這話,因為我已經學會無論在甚麼景況都可以知足。 12 我知道怎樣處卑賤,也知道怎樣處豐富;或飽足或飢餓,或有餘或缺乏,任何事情,任何景況,我都得了祕訣。 13 我靠着那加給我力量的,凡事都能做。 14 然而,你們能和我分擔憂患是一件好事。

15 腓立比人哪,你們也知道我開始傳福音、離開馬其頓的時候,在收支的事上,除了你們以外,並沒有別的教會和我分擔。 16 就是我在帖撒羅尼迦,你們也一再差人來供給我的需用。 17 我並不求甚麼饋贈,只求你們的果子不斷增多,歸在你們的賬上。 18 但我已經如數收到,並且有餘;我已經充足,因我從以巴弗提受了你們的饋贈,當作極美的香氣,為 神所接納、所喜悅的祭物。 19 我的 神必照他榮耀的豐富,在基督耶穌裏,使你們一切所需用的都充足。 20 願榮耀歸給我們的父 神,直到永永遠遠。阿們!

祝福

21 請問候在基督耶穌裏的各位聖徒。跟我一起的眾弟兄都問候你們。 22 眾聖徒都問候你們,特別在凱撒家裏的人問候你們。 23 願主耶穌基督的恩與你們的靈同在!

Be Anxious for Nothing; Think These Thoughts

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

I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche (D)to be of the same mind in the Lord. [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.

(G)Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Let your [b]gentleness be known to all men. (H)The Lord is at hand.

(I)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with (J)thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and (K)the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Meditate on These Things

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. 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.

Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

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.

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

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.

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.
