Think of Excellence

1 Therefore, my beloved brethren ^awhom I ¹long to see, my joy and crown, in this way ²stand firm in the Lord, my beloved. 2 I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to ^b³live in harmony in the Lord. 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 ⁴fellow workers, whose ⁵names are in the book of life. 4 ⁶Rejoice in the Lord always ; again I will say, rejoice ! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. ⁷The Lord is ^cnear. 6 ⁸Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by ⁹prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And ¹⁰the peace of God, which surpasses all ^dcomprehension, will ¹¹guard your hearts and your ¹²minds in ¹³Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, ¹⁴whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is ^elovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, ^fdwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen ¹⁵in me, practice these things, and ¹⁶the God of peace will be with you.

God's Provisions

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last ¹⁷you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak ^gfrom want, for I have learned to be ^h¹⁸content in whatever circumstances I am. 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 ¹⁹hungry, both of having abundance and ²⁰suffering need. 13 I can do all things ⁱthrough Him who ²¹strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to ²²share with me in my affliction. 15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the ^j²³first preaching of the gospel, after I left ²⁴Macedonia, no church ²⁵shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone ; 16 for even in ²⁶Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 ²⁷Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the ^kprofit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance ; I am ^lamply supplied, having received from ²⁸Epaphroditus ^mwhat you have sent, ⁿ²⁹a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. 19 And ³⁰my God will supply ^oall your needs according to His ³¹riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to ³²our God and Father ³³be the glory ^pforever and ever. Amen. 21 Greet every ^qsaint in Christ Jesus. ³⁴The brethren who are with me greet you. 22 ³⁵All the ^r³⁶saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household. 23 ³⁷The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ ³⁸be with your spirit.
