                        Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and
crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="2"><p>
                        I exhort Euodia,
and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="3"><p>
                        Yes, I
beg you also, true yoke-fellow, help these women, for they labored with
me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers,
whose names are in the book of life.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="4"><p>
                        Rejoice in the Lord always!
Again I will say, Rejoice!
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="5"><p>
                        Let your gentleness be known to all
men. The Lord is at hand.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="6"><p>
                        In nothing be anxious, but in
everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests
be made known to God.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="7"><p>
                        The peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="8"><p>
                        Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things
are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if
there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these
things.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="9"><p>
                        The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in
me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="10"><p>
                        But
I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your
thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked
opportunity.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="11"><p>
                        Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have
learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="12"><p>
                        I know how
to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all
things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry,
both to abound and to be in need.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="13"><p>
                        I can do all things through
Christ, who strengthens me.

                        However you did well that you had
fellowship with my affliction.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="15"><p>
                        You yourselves also know, you
Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from
Macedonia, no assembly had fellowship with me in the matter of giving
and receiving but you only.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="16"><p>
                        For even in Thessalonica you sent
once and again to my need.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="17"><p>
                        Not that I seek for the gift, but I
seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="18"><p>
                        But I have
all things, and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus
the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an
acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="19"><p>
                        My God will
supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ
Jesus.
                        </p></div><div type="textpart" subtype="verse" n="20"><p>
                        Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever!
Amen.
