Filipperne 1-4
Dette er Biblen på dansk

1 Paulus og Timotheus, Kristi Jesu Tjener, til alle de hellige i Kristus Jesus, som ere i Filippi, med Tilsynsmænd og Menighedstjenere. 2 Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!

3 Jeg takker min Gud, så ofte jeg kommer eder i Hu, 4 idet jeg altid, i hver min Bøn, beder for eder alle med Glæde, 5 for eders Deltagelse i Evangeliet fra den første Dag indtil nu; 6 forvisset om dette, at han, som begyndte en god Gerning i eder, vil fuldføre den indtil Jesu Kristi Dag, 7 således som det jo er ret for mig at mene dette om eder alle, efterdi jeg har eder i Hjertet både under mine Lænker og under Evangeliets Forsvar og Stadfæstelse, fælles som I jo alle ere med mig om Nåden. 8 Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvorledes jeg længes efter eder alle med Kristi Jesu inderlige Kærlighed. 9 Og derom beder jeg, at eders Kærlighed fremdeles må blive mere og mere rig på Erkendelse og al Skønsomhed, 10 så I kunne værdsætte de forskellige Ting, for at I må være rene og uden Anstød til Kristi Dag, 11 fyldte med Retfærdigheds Frugt, som virkes ved Jesus Kristus, Gud til Ære og Pris.

12 Men jeg vil, I skulle vide, Brødre! at mine Forhold snarere have tjent til Evangeliets Fremme, 13 så at det er blevet åbenbart for hele Livvagten og for alle de øvrige, at mine Lænker bæres for Kristi Skyld, 14 og de fleste af Brødrene fik i Tillid til Herren ved mine Lænker end mere Dristighed til at tale Guds Ord uden Frygt. 15 Nogle prædike vel også Kristus for Avinds og Kivs Skyld, men nogle også i en god Mening. 16 Disse gøre det af Kærlighed, vidende, at jeg er sat til at forsvare Evangeliet; 17 men hine forkynde Kristus af Egennytte, ikke ærligt, men i den Tanke at føje Trængsel til mine Lænker. 18 Hvad så? Kristus forkyndes dog på enhver Måde, være sig på Skrømt eller i Sandhed; og derover glæder jeg mig, og jeg vil også fremdeles glæde mig. 19 Thi jeg ved, at dette skal blive mig til Frelse ved eders Bøn og Jesu Kristi Ånds Hjælp, 20 efter min Længsel og mit Håb, at jeg i intet skal blive til Skamme, men at Kristus skal med al Frimodighed, som altid, så også nu, forherliges i mit Legeme, være sig ved Liv eller ved Død. 21 Thi det at leve er mig Kristus og at dø en Vinding. 22 Men dersom dette at leve i Kødet skaffer mig Frugt af min Gerning, så ved jeg ikke, hvad jeg skal vælge; 23 men jeg står tvivlrådig imellem de to Ting, idet jeg har Lysten til at bryde op og være sammen med Kristus; thi dette var såre meget bedre; 24 men at forblive i Kødet er mere nødvendigt for eders Skyld. 25 Og i Forvisning herom ved jeg, at jeg skal blive i Live og forblive hos eder alle til eders Fremgang og Glæde i Troen, 26 for at eders Ros ved mig kan blive rig i Kristus Jesus, ved at jeg atter kommer til Stede iblandt eder.

27 Kun skulle I leve Kristi Evangelium værdigt, for at, hvad enten jeg kommer og ser eder eller er fraværende, jeg dog kan høre om eder, at I stå faste i een Ånd, så at I med een Sjæl stride tilsammen for Troen på Evangeliet 28 og ikke lade eder forfærde i nogen Ting af Modstanderne; thi dette er for dem et Tegn på Undergang, men for eder på Frelse, og det fra Gud. 29 Thi eder er det forundt for Kristi Skyld - ikke alene at tro på ham, men også at lide for hans Skyld, 30 idet I have den samme Kamp, som I have set på mig og nu høre om mig.

2 Er der da nogen Formaning i Kristus, er der nogen Kærlighedens Opmuntring, er der noget Åndens Samfund, er der nogen inderlig Kærlighed og Barmhjertighed: 2 da fuldkommer min Glæde, at I må være enige indbyrdes, så I have den samme Kærlighed, samme Sjæl, een Higen, 3 intet gøre af Egennytte eller Lyst til tom Ære, men i Ydmyghed agte hverandre højere end eder selv 4 og ikke se hver på sit, men enhver også på andres. 5 Det samme Sindelag være i eder, som også var i Kristus Jesus, 6 han, som, da han var i Guds Skikkelse ikke holdt det for et Rov at være Gud lig, 7 men forringede sig selv, idet han tog en Tjeners Skikkelse på og blev Mennesker lig; 8 og da han i Fremtræden fandtes som et Menneske, fornedrede han sig selv, så han blev lydig indtil Døden, ja, Korsdøden. 9 Derfor har også Gud højt ophøjet ham og skænket ham det Navn, som er over alle Navne, 10 for at i Jesu Navn hvert Knæ skal bøje sig, deres i Himmelen og på Jorden og under Jorden, 11 og hver Tunge skal bekende, at Jesus Kristus er Herre, til Gud Faders Ære.

12 Derfor, mine elskede! ligesom I altid have været lydige, så arbejder ikke alene som i min Nærværelse, men nu meget mere i min Fraværelse på eders egen Frelse med Frygt og Bæven; 13 thi Gud er den, som virker i eder både at ville og at virke, efter sit Velbehag. 14 Gører alle Ting uden Knurren og Betænkeligheder, 15 for at I må blive udadlelige og rene, Guds ulastelige Børn, midt i en vanartet og forvendt Slægt, iblandt hvilke I vise eder som Himmellys i Verden, 16 idet I fremholde Livets Ord, mig til Ros på Kristi Dag, at jeg ikke har løbet forgæves, ej heller arbejdet forgæves. 17 Ja, selv om jeg bliver ofret under Ofringen og Betjeningen af eders Tro, så glæder jeg mig og glæder mig med eder alle. 18 Men ligeledes skulle også I glæde eder, og glæde eder med mig!

19 Men jeg håber i den Herre Jesus snart at kunne sende Timotheus til eder, for at også jeg kan blive ved godt Mod ved at erfare, hvorledes det går eder. 20 Thi jeg har ingen ligesindet, der så oprigtig vil have Omsorg for, hvorledes det går eder; 21 thi de søge alle deres eget, ikke hvad der hører Kristus Jesus til. 22 Men hans prøvede Troskab kende I, at, ligesom et Barn tjener sin Fader, således har han tjent med mig for Evangeliet. 23 Ham håber jeg altså at sende straks, når jeg ser Udgangen på min Sag. 24 Men jeg har den Tillid til Herren, at jeg også selv snart skal komme.

25 Men jeg har agtet det nødvendigt at sende Epafroditus til eder, min Broder og Medarbejder og Medstrider, og eders Udsending og Tjener for min Trang, 26 efterdi han længtes efter eder alle og var såre ængstelig, fordi I havde hørt, at han var bleven syg. 27 Ja, han var også syg og Døden nær; men Gud forbarmede sig over ham, ja, ikke alene over ham, men også over mig, for at jeg ikke skulde have Sorg på Sorg. 28 Derfor skynder jeg mig desto mere med at sende ham, for at I og jeg være mere sorgfri. 29 Modtager ham altså i Herren med al Glæde og holder sådanne i Ære; 30 thi for Kristi Gernings Skyld kom han Døden nær, idet han satte sit Liv i Vove for at udfylde Savnet af eder i eders Tjeneste imod mig.

3 I øvrigt, mine Brødre glæder eder i Herren! At skrive det samme til eder er ikke til Besvær for mig, men er betryggende for eder. 2 Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen! 3 Thi vi ere Omskærelsen, vi, som tjene i Guds Ånd og rose os i Kristus Jesus og ikke forlade os på Kødet", 4 endskønt også jeg har det, jeg kunde forlade mig på også i Kødet, Dersom nogen anden synes, han kan forlade sig på Kødet, kan jeg det mere. 5 Jeg er omskåren på den ottende Dag, af Israels Slægt, Benjamins Stamme, en Hebræer af Hebræere, over for Loven en Farisæer, 6 i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig. 7 Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab; 8 ja sandelig, jeg agter endog alt for at være Tab imod det langt højere, at kende Kristus Jesus, min Herre, for hvis Skyld jeg har lidt Tab på alt og agter det for Skarn, for at jeg kan vinde Kristus 9 og findes i ham, så jeg ikke har min Retfærdighed, den af Loven, men den ved Tro på Kristus, Retfærdigheden fra Gud på Grundlag af Troen, 10 for at jeg må kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død, 11 om jeg dog kunde nå til Opstandelsen fra de døde.

12 Ikke at jeg allerede har grebet det eller allerede er fuldkommen; men jeg jager derefter, om jeg dog kunde gribe det, efterdi jeg også er greben af Kristus Jesus. 13 Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det. 14 Men eet gør jeg: glemmende, hvad der er bagved, men rækkende efter det, som er foran, jager jeg imod Målet, til den Sejrspris, hvortil Gud fra det høje kaldte os i Kristus Jesus. 15 Lader da os, så mange som ere fuldkomne, have dette Sindelag; og er der noget, hvori I ere anderledes sindede, da skal Gud åbenbare eder også dette. 16 Kun at vi, så vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.

17 Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter på dem, der vandre således, som I have os til Forbillede. 18 Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu også siger med Tårer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender, 19 hvis Ende er Fortabelse, hvis Gud er Bugen, og hvis Ære er i deres Skændsel, de, som tragte efter de jordiske Ting. 20 Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi også forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus, 21 der skal forvandle vort Fornedrelses-Legeme til at blive ligedannet med hans Herligheds-Legeme, efter den Kraft, ved hvilken han også kan underlægge sig alle Ting.

4 Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! står således fast i Herren, I elskede!

2 Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren. 3 Ja, jeg beder også dig, min ægte Synzygus! tag dig af dem; thi de have med mig stridt i Evangeliet, tillige med Klemens og mine øvrige Medarbejdere, hvis Navne stå i Livets Bog.

4 Glæder eder i Herren altid; atter siger jeg: glæder eder! 5 Eders milde Sind vorde kendt at alle Mennesker! Herren er nær! 6 Værer ikke bekymrede for noget, men lader i alle Ting eders Begæringer komme frem for Gud i Påkaldelse og Bøn med Taksigelse; 7 og Guds Fred, som overgår al Forstand, skal bevare eders Hjerter og eders Tanker i Kristus Jesus. 8 I øvrigt, Brødre! alt, hvad der er sandt, hvad der er ærbart, hvad der er retfærdigt, hvad der er rent, hvad der er elskeligt, hvad der har godt Lov, enhver Dyd og enhver Hæder: lægger eder det på Sinde! 9 Hvad I både have lært og modtaget og hørt og set på mig, dette skulle I gøre, og Fredens Gud skal være med eder.

10 Men jeg har højlig glædet mig i Herren over, at I nu omsider ere komne til Kræfter, så at I kunne tænke på mit Vel, hvorpå I også forhen tænkte, men I manglede Lejlighed. 11 Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har. 12 Jeg forstår at være i ringe Kår, og jeg forstår også at have Overflod; i alt og hvert er jeg indviet, både i at mættes og i at hungre, både i at have Overflod og i at lide Savn. 13 Alt formår jeg i ham, som gør mig stærk. 14 Dog gjorde I vel i at tage Del i min Trængsel. 15 Men I vide det også selv, Filippensere! at i Evangeliets Begyndelse, da jeg drog ud fra Makedonien, var der ingen Menighed, som havde Regning med mig over givet og modtaget, uden I alene. 16 Thi endog i Thessalonika sendte I mig både een og to Gange, hvad jeg havde nødig. 17 Ikke at jeg attrår Gaven, men jeg attrår den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel. 18 Nu har jeg nok af alt og har Overflod; jeg har fuldt op efter ved Epafroditus at have modtaget eders Gave, en Vellugts-Duft, et velkomment Offer, velbehageligt for Gud. 19 Men min Gud skal efter sin Rigdom fuldelig give eder alt, hvad I have nødig, i Herlighed i Kristus Jesus. 20 Men ham, vor Gud og Fader, være Æren i Evigheders Evigheder! Amen.

21 Hilser hver hellig i Kristus Jesus. 22 De Brødre, som ere hos mig, hilse eder. Alle de hellige hilse eder, men mest de af Kejserens Hus. 23 Den Herres Jesu Kristi Nåde være med eders Ånd!

Philippians 1-4
New International Version

1 Paul and Timothy,(A) servants of Christ Jesus,

To all God’s holy people(B) in Christ Jesus at Philippi,(C) together with the overseers(D) and deacons[a]:(E)

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(F)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

3 I thank my God every time I remember you.(G) 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray(H) with joy 5 because of your partnership(I) in the gospel from the first day(J) until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion(K) until the day of Christ Jesus.(L)

7 It is right(M) for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart(N) and, whether I am in chains(O) or defending(P) and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify(Q) how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

9 And this is my prayer: that your love(R) may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,(S) 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,(T) 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness(U) that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Paul’s Chains Advance the Gospel

12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,[b] that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[c] and to everyone else that I am in chains(V) for Christ. 14 And because of my chains,(W) most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.(X)

15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.(Y) 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,(Z) not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.(AA) 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers(AB) and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ(AC) what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[d](AD) 20 I eagerly expect(AE) and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage(AF) so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body,(AG) whether by life or by death.(AH) 21 For to me, to live is Christ(AI) and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart(AJ) and be with Christ,(AK) which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

Life Worthy of the Gospel

27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy(AL) of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm(AM) in the one Spirit,[e] striving together(AN) as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you(AO) on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer(AP) for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle(AQ) you saw(AR) I had, and now hear(AS) that I still have.

Imitating Christ’s Humility

2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,(AT) if any tenderness and compassion,(AU) 2 then make my joy complete(AV) by being like-minded,(AW) having the same love, being one(AX) in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.(AY) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,(AZ) 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.(BA)

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:(BB)

6 Who, being in very nature[f] God,(BC)
    did not consider equality with God(BD) something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing(BE)
    by taking the very nature[g] of a servant,(BF)
    being made in human likeness.(BG)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death(BH)—
        even death on a cross!(BI)

9 Therefore God exalted him(BJ) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,(BK)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,(BL)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(BM)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,(BN)
    to the glory of God the Father.

Do Everything Without Grumbling

12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,(BO) 13 for it is God who works in you(BP) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.(BQ)

14 Do everything without grumbling(BR) or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless(BS) and pure, “children of God(BT) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[h](BU) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(BV) that I did not run(BW) or labor in vain.(BX) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(BY) on the sacrifice(BZ) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(CA) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy(CB) to you soon,(CC) that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him,(CD) who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests,(CE) not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father(CF) he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.(CG) 24 And I am confident(CH) in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker(CI) and fellow soldier,(CJ) who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.(CK) 26 For he longs for all of you(CL) and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him,(CM) so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,(CN) 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.(CO)

No Confidence in the Flesh

3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again,(CP) and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs,(CQ) those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision,(CR) we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus,(CS) and who put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.(CT)

If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised(CU) on the eighth day, of the people of Israel,(CV) of the tribe of Benjamin,(CW) a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;(CX) 6 as for zeal,(CY) persecuting the church;(CZ) as for righteousness based on the law,(DA) faultless.

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss(DB) for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing(DC) Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ(DD) 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,(DE) but that which is through faith in[i] Christ—the righteousness(DF) that comes from God on the basis of faith.(DG) 10 I want to know(DH) Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings,(DI) becoming like him in his death,(DJ) 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection(DK) from the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,(DL) but I press on to take hold(DM) of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.(DN) 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind(DO) and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on(DP) toward the goal to win the prize(DQ) for which God has called(DR) me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Following Paul’s Example

15 All of us, then, who are mature(DS) should take such a view of things.(DT) And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.(DU) 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

17 Join together in following my example,(DV) brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.(DW) 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears,(DX) many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.(DY) 19 Their destiny(DZ) is destruction, their god is their stomach,(EA) and their glory is in their shame.(EB) Their mind is set on earthly things.(EC) 20 But our citizenship(ED) is in heaven.(EE) And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,(EF) 21 who, by the power(EG) that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies(EH) so that they will be like his glorious body.(EI)

Closing Appeal for Steadfastness and Unity

4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for,(EJ) my joy and crown, stand firm(EK) in the Lord in this way, dear friends!

2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind(EL) in the Lord. 3 Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers,(EM) whose names are in the book of life.(EN)

Final Exhortations

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!(EO) 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.(EP) 6 Do not be anxious about anything,(EQ) but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.(ER) 7 And the peace of God,(ES) which transcends all understanding,(ET) will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.(EU) And the God of peace(EV) will be with you.

Thanks for Their Gifts

10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me.(EW) Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content(EX) whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,(EY) whether living in plenty or in want.(EZ) 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.(FA)

14 Yet it was good of you to share(FB) in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days(FC) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,(FD) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;(FE) 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica,(FF) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.(FG) 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.(FH) 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus(FI) the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant(FJ) offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs(FK) according to the riches of his glory(FL) in Christ Jesus.

20 To our God and Father(FM) be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(FN)

Final Greetings

21 Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me(FO) send greetings. 22 All God’s people(FP) here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ(FQ) be with your spirit.(FR) Amen.[j]
