Philippians 4:4-9

International Standard Version

⁴ Keep on rejoicing in the Lord at all times. I will say it again: Keep on rejoicing! ⁵ Let your gracious attitude^[a] be known to all people. The Lord is near: ⁶ Never worry about anything. Instead, in every situation let your petitions be made known to God through prayers and requests, with thanksgiving. ⁷ Then God’s peace, which goes far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in union with the Messiah^[b] Jesus.

⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—keep thinking about these things. ⁹ Likewise, keep practicing these things: what you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.
