Philippians 4 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Think of Excellence

Therefore^G5620, my beloved^G27 brothers^G80 and sisters, [fn]whom I long^G1973 to see, my joy^G5479 and crown^G4735, stand^G4739 firm^G4739 in the Lord^G2962 in^G3779 this^G3779 way^G3779, my beloved^G27.

Phl 4:2

I urge^G3870 Euodia^G2136 and I urge^G3870 Syntyche^G4941 to [fn]live^G5426 in^G5426 harmony^G846^G5426 in the Lord^G2962.

Phl 4:3

Phl 4:3Indeed, true [fn]companion, I ask you also, help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement as well as the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Phl 4:4

Rejoice^G5463 in the Lord^G2962 always^G3842; again^G3825 I will say^G3004, rejoice^G5463!

Phl 4:5

Phl 4:5Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. The Lord is [fn]near.

Phl 4:6

Phl 4:6Do not [fn]be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Phl 4:7

Phl 4:7And the peace of God, which surpasses all [fn]comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:8

Finally^G3062, brothers^G80 and sisters, whatever^G3745 is true^G227, whatever^G3745 is honorable^G4586, whatever^G3745 is right^G1342, whatever^G3745 is pure^G53, whatever^G3745 is [fn]lovely^G4375, whatever^G3745 is commendable^G2163, if^G1487 there is any^G5100 excellence^G703 and if^G1487 anything^G5100 worthy^G1868 of^G1868 praise^G1868, think^G3049 about^G3049 these^G3778 things^G3778.

Phl 4:9

Phl 4:9As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

God’s Provisions

Phl 4:10

But I rejoiced^G5463 in the Lord^G2962 greatly^G3171, that now^G2235 at last^G4218 you have revived^G330 your concern^G5426 for me; indeed^G2532, you were concerned^G5426 before, but you lacked^G170 an^G170 opportunity^G170 to act.

Phl 4:11

Phl 4:11Not that I speak [fn]from need, for I have learned to be [fn]content in whatever circumstances I am.

Phl 4:12

Phl 4:12I know how to get along with little, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

Phl 4:13

Phl 4:13I can do all things [fn]through Him who strengthens me.

Phl 4:14

Phl 4:14Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my difficulty.

Phl 4:15

You yourselves^G4771 also^G2532 know^G6063, Philippians^G5374, that at the [fn]first^G746 preaching of the gospel^G2098, after^G3753 I left^G1831 Macedonia^G3109, no^G3762 church^G1577 shared^G2841 with me in the matter^G3056 of giving^G1394 and receiving^G3028 except^G1508 you alone^G3441;

Phl 4:16

Phl 4:16for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

Phl 4:17

Phl 4:17Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek the [fn]profit which increases to your account.

Phl 4:18

Phl 4:18But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am [fn]amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus [fn]what you have sent, [fn]a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

Phl 4:19

Phl 4:19And my God will supply [fn]all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:20

Phl 4:20Now to our God and Father be the glory [fn]forever and ever. Amen.

Phl 4:21

Greet^G782 every^G3956 [fn]saint^G40 in Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424. The brothers^G80 who are with me greet^G782 you.

Phl 4:22

Phl 4:22All the [fn]saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household.

Phl 4:23

The grace^G5485 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with your spirit^G4151.
