Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer

I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche (A)to be of the same mind in the Lord. [a]And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who (B)labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in (C)the Book of Life.

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

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

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