Philippians 4:7-17 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
7
And the peace of God,1 which transcends all understanding,2 will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
9
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice.3 And the God of peace4 will be with you.
Thanks for Their Gifts
10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me.5 Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content6 whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,7 whether living in plenty or in want.8 13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.9 14 Yet it was good of you to share10 in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days11 of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,12 not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;13 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica,14 you sent me aid again and again when I was in need.15 17 Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account.16Scripture quoted by permission.
