Phil.4.1
Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
Phil.4.1
My dear, dear friends! I love you so much. I do want the very best for you. You make me feel such joy, fill me with such pride. Don't waver. Stay on track, steady in God.
Phil.4.1
Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!
Phil.4.1
Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
Phil.4.1
Dear brothers and sisters, I love you and long to see you, for you are my joy and the reward for my work. So please stay true to the Lord, my dear friends.
Phil.4.2
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
Phil.4.2
I urge Euodia and Syntyche to iron out their differences and make up. God doesn't want his children holding grudges.
Phil.4.2
I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
Phil.4.2
I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
Phil.4.2
And now I want to plead with those two women, Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement.
Phil.4.3
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
Phil.4.3
And, oh, yes, Syzygus, since you're right there to help them work things out, do your best with them. These women worked for the Message hand in hand with Clement and me, and with the other veterans--worked as hard as any of us. Remember, their names are also in the book of life.
Phil.4.3
Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Phil.4.3
And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
Phil.4.3
And I ask you, my true teammate, to help these women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. And they worked with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life.
Phil.4.4
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Phil.4.4
Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him!
Phil.4.4
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Phil.4.4
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Phil.4.4
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!
Phil.4.5
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Phil.4.5
Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!
Phil.4.5
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Phil.4.5
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Phil.4.5
Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
Phil.4.6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Phil.4.6
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.
Phil.4.6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Phil.4.6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Phil.4.6
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Phil.4.7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.7
Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Phil.4.7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.7
If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Phil.4.8
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
Phil.4.8
Finally, brothers, 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.
Phil.4.8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.
Phil.4.8
And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Phil.4.9
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Phil.4.9
Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
Phil.4.9
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Phil.4.9
The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Phil.4.9
Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.
Phil.4.10
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
Phil.4.10
I'm glad in God, far happier than you would ever guess--happy that you're again showing such strong concern for me. Not that you ever quit praying and thinking about me. You just had no chance to show it.
Phil.4.10
I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
Phil.4.10
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.
Phil.4.10
How grateful I am, and how I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but for a while you didn't have the chance to help me.
Phil.4.11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Phil.4.11
Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances.
Phil.4.11
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Phil.4.11
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:
Phil.4.11
Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to get along happily whether I have much or little.
Phil.4.12
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Phil.4.12
I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty.
Phil.4.12
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, whether living in plenty or in want.
Phil.4.12
I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Phil.4.12
I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
Phil.4.13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Phil.4.13
Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
Phil.4.13
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Phil.4.13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Phil.4.13
For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.
Phil.4.14
Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
Phil.4.14
I don't mean that your help didn't mean a lot to me--it did. It was a beautiful thing that you came alongside me in my troubles.
Phil.4.14
Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
Phil.4.14
Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.
Phil.4.14
But even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty.
Phil.4.15
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
Phil.4.15
You Philippians well know, and you can be sure I'll never forget it, that when I first left Macedonia province, venturing out with the Message, not one church helped out in the give-and-take of this work except you. You were the only one.
Phil.4.15
Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;
Phil.4.15
Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.
Phil.4.15
As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help when I brought you the Good News and then traveled on from Macedonia. No other church did this.
Phil.4.16
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
Phil.4.16
Even while I was in Thessalonica, you helped out--and not only once, but twice.
Phil.4.16
for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need.
Phil.4.16
For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.
Phil.4.16
Even when I was in Thessalonica you sent help more than once.
Phil.4.17
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Phil.4.17
Not that I'm looking for handouts, but I do want you to experience the blessing that issues from generosity.
Phil.4.17
Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account.
Phil.4.17
Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.
Phil.4.17
I don't say this because I want a gift from you. What I want is for you to receive a well-earned reward because of your kindness.
Phil.4.18
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Phil.4.18
And now I have it all--and keep getting more! The gifts you sent with Epaphroditus were more than enough, like a sweet-smelling sacrifice roasting on the altar, filling the air with fragrance, pleasing God no end.
Phil.4.18
I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
Phil.4.18
Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
Phil.4.18
At the moment I have all I need--more than I need! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable to God and pleases him.
Phil.4.19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.19
You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus.
Phil.4.19
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.19
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Phil.4.20
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Phil.4.20
Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. Yes.
Phil.4.20
To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Phil.4.20
Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Phil.4.20
Now glory be to God our Father forever and ever. Amen.
Phil.4.21
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
Phil.4.21
Give our regards to every Christian you meet. Our friends here say hello.
Phil.4.21
Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send greetings.
Phil.4.21
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
Phil.4.21
Give my greetings to all the Christians there. The brothers who are with me here send you their greetings.
Phil.4.22
All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
Phil.4.22
All the Christians here, especially the believers who work in the palace of Caesar, want to be remembered to you.
Phil.4.22
All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household.
Phil.4.22
All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar's household.
Phil.4.22
And all the other Christians send their greetings, too, especially those who work in Caesar's palace.
Phil.4.23
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Phil.4.23
Receive and experience the amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, deep, deep within yourselves.
Phil.4.23
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Phil.4.23
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Phil.4.23
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
