Philippians 4:4-13
American Standard Version
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your [a]forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything 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 guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are [b]honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are [c]of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, [d]think on these things. 9 The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 But I [e]rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your thought for me; [f]wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content. 12 I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. 13 I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.
