| 4:1 | SO, my brothers whom I love and long for, my joy and my crown, do stand firmly in the Lord, and remember how much I love you. |
| 4:2 | Euodia and Syntyche, I beg you by name to make up your differences as Christians should! |
| 4:3 | And you, my true fellowworker, I ask you to help these women. They both worked hard with me for the gospel, as did Clement and all my other fellowworkers whose names are in the book of life. |
| 4:4 | Delight yourselves in the Lord, yes, find your joy in him at all times. |
| 4:5 | Have a reputation for being reasonable, and never forget the nearness of your Lord. |
| 4:6 | Don't worry over anything whatever; whenever you pray tell God every detail of your needs in thankful prayer, |
| 4:7 | and the peace of God, which surpasses human understanding, will keep constant guard over your hearts and minds as they rest in Christ Jesus. |
| 4:8 | My brothers I need only add this. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on whatever is true and honourable and just and pure and lovely and admirable. |
| 4:9 | Put into practice what you have learned from me and what I passed on to you, both what you heard from me and what you saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you. |
| 4:10 | It is a great and truly Christian joy to me that after all this dine you have shown such renewed interest in my welfare. I don't mean that you had forgotten me, but up till now you had no opportunity of expressing your concern. |
| 4:11 | Nor do I mean that I have been in actual need, for I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. |
| 4:12 | I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous. In general and in particular I have learned the secret of eating well or going hungryof facing either plenty or poverty. |
| 4:13 | I am ready for anything through the strength of the One who lives within me. |
| 4:14 | Nevertheless I am very grateful for the way in which you were willing to share my troubles. |
| 4:15 | You Philippians will remember that in the early days of the gospel when I left Macedonia, you were the only church who shared with me the fellowship of giving and receiving. |
| 4:16 | Even in Thessalonica you sent me help when I was in need, not once but twice. |
| 4:17 | It isn't the value of the gift that I am keen on, it is the reward that will be credited to you. |
| 4:18 | Now I have everything I wantin fact I am rich. Yes, I am quite content, thanks to your gifts received through Epaphroditus. Such generosity is like a lovely fragrance, a sacrifice that pleases the very heart of God. |
| 4:19 | My God will supply all that you need from his glorious resources in Christ Jesus. |
| 4:20 | And may glory be to our God and our Father for ever and ever, amen! |
| 4:21 | Give my greetings in Christian fellowship to every one of God's people. The brothers here with me also send greetings. |
| 4:22 | All the Christians here would like to send their best wishes, particularly those who belong to the emperor's household. |
| 4:23 | The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. |
