Think of Excellence |
|
|
 |
|
Philippians 4:1
|
|
Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to
see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved. |
|
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:2
|
|
I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in
harmony in the Lord. |
| |
|
|
|
Philippians 4:3
|
|
Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help
these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with
Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of
life. |
| |
|
|
|
Philippians 4:4
|
|
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say,
rejoice! |
| |
|
|
|
Philippians 4:5
|
|
Let your gentle spirit be known to all men.
The Lord is near. |
| |
|
|
|
Philippians 4:6
|
|
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
|
| |
|
|
|
Philippians 4:7
|
|
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:8
|
|
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever
is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever
is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise,
dwell on these things. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:9
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:10
|
|
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now
at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before,
but you lacked opportunity. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:11
|
|
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned
to be content in whatever circumstances I am. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:12
|
|
I know how to get along with humble means, 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. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:13
|
|
I can do all things through Him who strengthens
me. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:14
|
|
Nevertheless, you have done well to share with
me in my affliction. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:15
|
|
You yourselves also know, Philippians, that
at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared
with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:16
|
|
for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more
than once for my needs. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:17
|
|
Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek
for the profit which increases to your account. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:18
|
|
But I have received everything in full and have
an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you
have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. |
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:19
|
|
And my God will supply all your needs according
to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. |
| |
|
|
|
Philippians 4:20
|
|
Now to our God and Father be the glory forever
and ever. Amen. |
| |
|
|
|
Philippians 4:21
|
|
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren
who are with me greet you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:22
|
|
All the saints greet you, especially those of
Caesar's household. |
|
|
|
|
|
Philippians 4:23
|
|
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. |
