¹ Wherefore, my beloved and dear brethren, my joy and my crown !-so stand ye fast in our Lord, my beloved !² I beseech of Euodias and Syntyche, that they be of one mind in our 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.⁴ Rejoice ye in our Lord, at all times; and again I say, Rejoice.⁵ Let your humility be recognized among all men. Our Lord is near.⁶ Be anxious for nothing; but at all times, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make known your requests before God.⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasseth all knowledge, will keep your hearts and your minds, through Jesus the Messiah.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.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.
