Bible, King James Version
Philippians
Phil.4
[1] Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for,
my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly
beloved.
[2] I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be
of the same mind in the Lord.
[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.
[4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,
Rejoice.
[5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is
at hand.
[6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing 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 keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have
learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
[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.
[13] I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.
[14] Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did
communicate with my affliction.
[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.
[16] For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto
my necessity.
[17] Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that
may abound to your account.
[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.
[19] But my God shall supply all your need according to
his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
[20] Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and
ever. Amen.
[21] Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren
which are with me greet you.
[22] All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of
Caesar's household.
[23] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
