Philippians 4
Young's Literal Translation
4 So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.
2 Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same mind in the Lord;
3 and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names [are] in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;
5 let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord [is] near;
6 for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;
7 and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as [are] grave, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;
9 the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.
10 And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;
11 not that in respect of want I say [it], for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content;
12 I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
13 For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;
14 but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;
15 and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;
16 because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;
17 not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;
18 and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you -- an odour of a sweet smell -- a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:
19 and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
20 and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory -- to the ages of the ages. Amen.
21 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me;
22 there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house;
23 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.
Filipeni 4
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
4 De aceea, preaiubiţii şi mult doriţii(A) mei fraţi, bucuria(B) şi cununa mea, rămâneţi(C) astfel tari în Domnul, preaiubiţilor! 2 Îndemn pe Evodia şi îndemn pe Sintichia să fie cu un gând(D) în Domnul. 3 Şi pe tine, adevărat tovarăş de jug, te rog să vii în ajutorul femeilor acestora, care au lucrat(E) împreună cu mine pentru Evanghelie, cu Clement şi cu ceilalţi tovarăşi de lucru ai mei, ale căror nume sunt scrise în cartea(F) vieţii. 4 Bucuraţi-vă(G) totdeauna în Domnul! Iarăşi zic: Bucuraţi-vă! 5 Blândeţea voastră să fie cunoscută de toţi oamenii. Domnul este aproape(H). 6 Nu(I) vă îngrijoraţi de nimic, ci, în orice lucru, aduceţi cererile voastre la cunoştinţa lui Dumnezeu, prin rugăciuni şi cereri, cu mulţumiri. 7 Şi pacea(J) lui Dumnezeu, care întrece orice pricepere, vă va păzi inimile şi gândurile în Hristos Isus. 8 Încolo, fraţii mei, tot ce este adevărat, tot ce este vrednic de cinste, tot ce este drept, tot ce este curat, tot(K) ce este vrednic de iubit, tot ce este vrednic de primit, orice faptă bună şi orice laudă, aceea să vă însufleţească. 9 Ce(L) aţi învăţat, ce aţi primit şi auzit de la mine şi ce aţi văzut în mine, faceţi. Şi Dumnezeul(M) păcii va fi cu voi. 10 Am avut o mare bucurie în Domnul, că, în sfârşit, aţi putut să vă înnoiţi iarăşi simţămintele(N) voastre faţă de mine. Vă gândeaţi voi la aşa ceva, dar vă lipsea prilejul. 11 Nu zic lucrul acesta având în vedere nevoile mele; căci m-am deprins să fiu(O) mulţumit cu starea în care mă găsesc. 12 Ştiu(P) să trăiesc smerit şi ştiu să trăiesc în belşug. În totul şi pretutindeni m-am deprins să fiu sătul şi flămând, să fiu în belşug şi să fiu în lipsă. 13 Pot totul(Q) în Hristos, care mă întăreşte. 14 Dar bine aţi făcut că aţi(R) luat parte la strâmtorarea mea. 15 Ştiţi voi înşivă, filipenilor, că, la începutul Evangheliei, când am plecat din Macedonia, nicio(S) Biserică n-a avut legătură cu mine în ceea ce priveşte „darea” şi „primirea” afară de voi. 16 Căci mi-aţi trimis în Tesalonic, o dată şi chiar de două ori, ceva pentru nevoile mele. 17 Nu că umblu după daruri. Dimpotrivă, umblu după câştigul(T) care prisoseşte în folosul vostru. 18 Am de toate şi sunt în belşug. Sunt bogat de când am primit prin Epafrodit(U) ce mi-aţi trimis…, un miros(V) de bună mireasmă, o jertfă(W) bine primită şi plăcută lui Dumnezeu. 19 Şi Dumnezeul meu să îngrijească(X) de toate trebuinţele voastre după(Y) bogăţia Sa, în slavă, în Isus Hristos. 20 A lui(Z) Dumnezeu şi Tatăl nostru să fie slava în vecii vecilor! Amin. 21 Spuneţi sănătate fiecărui sfânt în Hristos Isus.
Fraţii care(AA) sunt cu mine vă trimit sănătate. 22 Toţi sfinţii vă trimit sănătate, mai(AB) ales cei din casa cezarului. 23 Harul(AC) Domnului Isus Hristos să fie cu voi cu toţi! Amin.

What the Christians Are to Do
4 [L Therefore; So then] My brothers and sisters, ·I love you and want to see you [L my beloved and longed-for ones]. ·You bring me joy and make me proud of you [L …my joy and crown; 1 Thess. 2:19; C a wreath bestowed for victory or honor], so stand ·strong [firm] in the Lord as I have told you, ·dear friends [beloved].
2 I ·ask [urge; encourage; exhort] Euodia and Syntyche [C two women in the Philippian congregation] to agree in the Lord. 3 And I ask you, my ·faithful [true; genuine] ·friend [companion; L yoke-partner; C possibly a proper name: Syzygos], to help these women. They ·served [struggled; labored] with me in telling the ·Good News [Gospel], together with Clement and ·others who worked with me [L the rest of my coworkers], whose names are written in the book of life [Rev. 3:5; 21:27].
4 ·Be full of joy [Rejoice] in the Lord always. I will say again, ·be full of joy [rejoice].
5 Let everyone see that you are ·gentle [kind; considerate; patient]. The Lord is ·coming soon [or close at hand; L near]. 6 Do not ·worry [be anxious] about anything, but pray and ·ask God for everything you need [or make your requests known to God], always giving thanks. 7 And God’s peace, which ·is so great we cannot understand it [transcends/surpasses all comprehension], will ·keep [guard] your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 [L Finally; In conclusion; or Now then] Brothers and sisters, ·think about [focus your thoughts on; fill your minds with] things that are true and honorable and ·right [just] and pure and ·beautiful [lovely] and ·respected [commendable]. If there is anything that is ·good [morally excellent] and worthy of praise, ·think about [focus your thoughts on; fill your minds with] these things. 9 Do what you learned and received and heard ·from [L in] me, and what you saw ·me do [L in me]. And the God ·who gives [L of] peace will be with you.
Paul Thanks the Christians
10 I ·am very happy [L rejoiced greatly] in the Lord that you have ·shown [renewed; revived] your ·care [concern] for me again. You continued to ·care [be concerned] about me, but ·there was no way for you [you had no opportunity] to show it. 11 I am not telling you this because I need anything. [L For] I have learned to be ·satisfied [content] ·whatever the circumstances [or with whatever I have]. 12 I know how to live when I am ·poor [in humble circumstances], and I know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the ·secret of being happy [L secret] ·at any time in everything that happens [or in any and all circumstances], when I have enough to eat and when I go hungry, when I have ·more than I need [plenty; an abundance] and when I do not have enough. 13 I can do all things through ·Christ, because he [L the one who] gives me strength.
14 ·But [However; Nevertheless] it was good that you ·helped [shared/partnered with] me ·when I needed it [L in my trouble/trial]. 15 You Philippians remember ·when I first preached the Good News there [or when you first believed the Good News/Gospel; L in the beginning of the Good News/Gospel; Acts 16:11–40]. When I left Macedonia [C the northern part of present-day Greece; Acts 17:14–15], ·you were the only church that [L no church except you alone] ·gave me help [L shared/partnered with me in matters of giving and receiving; C business terminology; the Philippians “invested” in Paul’s ministry and received back spiritual blessings]. 16 [L For] Even when I was in Thessalonica [C shortly after leaving Philippi; Thessalonica is southwest of Philippi; Acts 17:1–9] ·several times [L both once and twice] you sent me things I needed. 17 Really, it is not that I ·want to receive gifts from you [L seek the gift], but I ·want you to have the good that comes from giving [L seek the profit/fruit that increases to your account; C more business terminology; v. 15]. 18 And now I have ·everything [or received full payment], and more. I ·have all I need [or am fully supplied/filled up], because Epaphroditus [2:25] brought your gifts to me. They are ·like a sweet-smelling offering to God [L a fragrant aroma], a sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to him. 19 [L And] My God will ·meet [supply; fulfill] all of your needs ·from [L according to] his ·wonderful riches [glorious riches; or riches in heaven/glory] in Christ Jesus. 20 Glory to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.
21 Greet each ·of God’s people [T saint] in Christ Jesus. ·Those [L The brothers (and sisters)] who are with me send greetings to you. 22 All of ·God’s people [T the saints] greet you, particularly those from ·the palace of Caesar [L Caesar’s household; C the soldiers, slaves, and freedmen engaged in imperial service].
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with ·you all [your spirit].
