Philippians 4

Holman Christian Standard Bible, 2009 (HCSB)

Switch Version:

Colossians

¹ So then, my brothers, you are dearly loved and longed for — my joy and crown. ⓐ In this manner stand firm ⓑ in the Lord, dear friends.

² I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to agree in the Lord.

³ Yes, I also ask you, true partner, [1] to help these women who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my coworkers whose names are in the book of life.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

⁵ Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. ⓒ

⁶ Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses ⓓ every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. ⓔ

⁸ Finally brothers, whatever is true, ⓕ whatever is honorable, ⓖ whatever is just, ⓗ whatever is pure, ⓘ whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence ⓙ and if there is any praise — dwell on these things.

⁹ Do what you have learned and received ⓚ and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

¹⁰ I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that once again ⓛ you renewed your care for me. ⓜ You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it.

¹¹ I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

¹² I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. ⓝ In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content — whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.

¹³ I am able to do all things through Him [2] who strengthens me. ⓞ

¹⁴ Still, you did well by sharing with me in my hardship.

¹⁵ And you Philippians ⓟ know that in the early days of the gospel, ⓠ when I left Macedonia, ⓡ no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.

¹⁶ For even in Thessalonica ⓢ you sent gifts for my need ⓣ several times.

¹⁷ Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit [3] ⓤ that is increasing to your account.

¹⁸ But I have received everything in full, ⓥ and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus ⓦ what you provided — a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing ⓧ to God.

¹⁹ And my God ⓨ will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ Now to our God and Father ⓩ be glory forever and ever. ⓐ Amen. ⓑ

²¹ Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. Those brothers who are with me greet you.

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. [4] ⓔ
