Philippians 4 - NKJV Bible Online

Philippians 4

Therefore, my beloved and ^alonged-for brethren, ^bmy joy and crown, so ^cstand fast in the Lord, beloved.

Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer

2 I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche ^ato be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 ¹And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who ^alabored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in ^bthe Book of Life.
4 ^aRejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your ¹gentleness be known to all men. ^aThe Lord is at hand.
6 ^aBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with ^bthanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and ^athe peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Meditate on These Things

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are ^atrue, whatever things are ^bnoble, whatever things are ^cjust, ^dwhatever things are pure, whatever things are ^elovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and ^athe God of peace will be with you.

Philippian Generosity

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last ^ayour¹ care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, ^ato be content: 12 ^aI know how to ¹be abased, and I know how to ²abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things ^athrough ¹Christ who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless you have done well that ^ayou shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, ^ano church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek ^athe fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I ¹have all and abound. I am full, having received from ^aEpaphroditus the things sent from you, ^ba sweet-smelling aroma, ^can acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God ^ashall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 ^aNow to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Greeting and Blessing

21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren ^awho are with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with ¹you all. Amen.
