Christian Standard Bible

4 So then, my dearly loved and longed for brothers and sisters, my joy and crown,^(A) in this manner stand firm^(B) in the Lord, dear friends.

Practical Counsel

² I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to agree in the Lord. ³ Yes, I also ask you, true partner,^[a] to help these women who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my coworkers whose names are in the book of life. ⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your graciousness^[b] be known to everyone. The Lord is near.^{(C) 6} Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses^(D) all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.^(E)

⁸ Finally^[c] brothers and sisters, whatever is true,^(F) whatever is honorable,^(G) whatever is just,^(H) whatever is pure,^(I) whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence^(J) and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things. ⁹ Do what you have learned and received^(K) and heard from me, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
