¹ So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, - thus, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.² Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort, - on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord: - ³ Yea! I request thee also, true yokefellow, be thou helping together with these women, - who, indeed, in the joyful message, have maintained the combat with me, along 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 will say - rejoice!⁵ Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: - ⁶ For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;⁷ And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are dignified, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are chaste, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, - if there be any virtue, and if any praise, the same, be taking into account;⁹ The things which ye have both learned, and accepted, and heard, and seen in me, the same, practise; - and, the God of peace, shall be with you.

¹⁰ Howbeit I have been made to rejoice in the Lord greatly - that, now, at length, ye have flourished in your care for me, - although, indeed, ye were caring, but lacked opportunity.¹¹ Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:¹² I know what it is even to be kept low, and I know what it is to have more than enough, - in every way, and in all things, have I been let into the secret - both to be well fed, and to be hungering, both to have more than enough, and to be coming short:¹³ I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.¹⁴ Nevertheless, nobly, have ye done, in taking fellowship with me in my tribulation.¹⁵ Ye know, moreover, even ye, Philippians, - that, in the beginning of the glad-message, when I went forth from Macedonia, not, so much as one assembly, with me had fellowship - in the matter of giving and receiving - save, ye alone, - ¹⁶ That, even in Thessalonica, both once and again, unto my need, ye sent: - ¹⁷ Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account.¹⁸ But I have all things in full, and have more than enough, I am filled, having welcomed from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, - a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing unto God. ¹⁹ And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ Now, unto our God and Father, be the glory - unto the ages of ages. Amen!²¹ Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.²² All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesar's household.²³ The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
