| [1]Wherefore, my beloved and dear brethren, my joy and my crown !-so stand ye fast in our Lord, my beloved ! |
[1]So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved. |
| [2]I beseech of Euodias and Syntyche, that they be of one mind in our Lord. |
[2]Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same mind in the Lord; |
| [3]I also beseech of thee, my true yokefellow, that thou assist those women who toiled with me in the gospel; together with Clement, and with the rest of my helpers, whose names are written in the book of life. |
[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 ye in our Lord, at all times; and again I say, Rejoice. |
[4]Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice; |
| [5]Let your humility be recognized among all men. Our Lord is near. |
[5]let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord [is] near; |
| [6]Be anxious for nothing; but at all times, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make known your requests before God. |
[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, which surpasseth all knowledge, will keep your hearts and your minds, through Jesus the Messiah. |
[7]and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. |
| [8]Finally, my brethren, what things are true, and what things are decorous, and what things are right, and what things are pure, and what things are lovely, and what things are commendable, and deeds of praise and approbation, on these be your thoughts. |
[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]What things ye have learned, and received, and heard, and seen, in me, these do ye: and the God of peace will be with you. |
[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 rejoice greatly in our Lord, that ye have [again] commenced caring for me; even as ye had before cared [for me,] but ye had not the opportunity. |
[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]Yet I say this, not because I was in want; for I have learned to make that satisfy me, which I have. |
[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 know how to be depressed, and I also know how to abound in every thing; and in all things am I exercised, both in fullness and in famine, in abundance and in penury. |
[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]I find strength for every thing, in the Messiah who strengtheneth me. |
[13]For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me; |
| [14]Yet ye have done well, in that ye communicated to my necessities. |
[14]but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation; |
| [15]And ye know also, Philippians, that in the beginning of the annunciation, when I left Macedonia, not one of the churches communicated with me in respect to receiving and giving, except ye only; |
[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]that also at Thessalonica, once and again ye sent me relief. |
[16]because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent; |
| [17]Not that I desire a gift; but I wish fruits may multiply unto you. |
[17]not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account; |
| [18]I have [now] received all, and I abound, and am full: and I accepted all that ye sent to me by Epaphroditus, a sweet odor, and an acceptable sacrifice that pleaseth God. |
[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 may God supply all your necessity, according to his riches, in the glory of Jesus the Messiah. |
[19]and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus; |
| [20]And to God our Father, be glory and honor, for ever and ever. Amen. |
[20]and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory -- to the ages of the ages. Amen. |
| [21]Salute all the saints who are in Jesus the Messiah. The brethren who are with me, salute you. |
[21]Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me; |
| [22]All the saints salute you, especially those of Caesar's household. |
[22]there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house; |
| [23]The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, be with you all. Amen.End of the Epistle to the Philippians; which was written from Rome, and sent by the hand of Epaphroditus. |
[23]the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen. |
