              1 Therefore, my brethren most dear-worthy and most desired, my joy and my crown, so stand ye in the Lord, most dear brethren.
            
            
                1
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!            
            
              2 I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, to understand the same thing in the Lord.
            
            
                2
I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.            
            
              3 Also I pray and thee, german fellow [Also and I pray thee, german even-fellow], help thou those women that travailed with me in the gospel, with Clement and other mine helpers, whose names be in the book of life.
            
            
                3
Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.            
            
              4 Joy ye in the Lord evermore; again I say, joy ye.
            
            
                4
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!            
            
              5 Be your patience known to all men [Be your temperance, or patience, known to all men]; the Lord is nigh.
            
            
                5
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.            
            
              6 Be ye nothing busy [Be nothing busy], but in all prayer and beseeching, with doing of thankings, be your askings known at God.
            
            
                6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
