          DASV: Philippians 4    

1 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long to see, my joy
and crown, stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

2 I urge Euodia, and I urge Syntyche, to agree in the Lord.
3 Yes, I ask you, loyal companion, help these women, for they
labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the
rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, Rejoice!
5 Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer
and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known
to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is of good report; if there is any virtue, and if
there is any praise, think about these things.
9 The things which you both learned and received and heard and
saw in me, do these things and the God of peace will be with you.

10 I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have
expressed your concern for me. You were indeed concerned,
but you lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of need, for I have learned
in whatever state I am, there to be content.
12 I have experienced both need and abundance. In everything
and in all things have I learned the secret of contentment
whether I am full or hungry, both in plenty and in want.
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14 Yet it was wonderful that you shared with me during my trouble.
15 You Philippians also know, that in the beginning of the
gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church had shared with me
in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone.
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent more than once to my need.
17 Not that I seek a donation, but I seek for the fruit that
increases to your credit.
18 But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having
received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you,
a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable, pleasing to God.
19 My God will supply every one of your needs according to his
riches in glory in Jesus Christ.
20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever.
Amen.

21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers that are
with me greet you.
22 All the saints greet you, especially those that belong to
Caesar's household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
