Philippians 4 — WBMS
4Verse 1Therefore, my brethren most dear-worthy and most desired, my joy and my crown, so stand ye in the Lord, most dear brethren.Verse 2I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, to understand the same thing in the Lord.Verse 3Also I pray and thee, germane 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.Verse 4Joy ye in the Lord evermore; again I say, joy ye.Verse 5Be your patience [or your temperance] known to all men; the Lord is nigh.Verse 6Be ye nothing busy, but in all prayer and beseeching, with doing of thankings, be your askings known at God.Verse 7And the peace of God, that passeth all wit, keep your hearts and understandings in Christ Jesus.Verse 8From henceforth, brethren, what-ever things be sooth, whatever things chaste, whatever things just, whatever things holy, whatever things able to be loved, [or amiable, or lovable], whatever things of good fame, if any virtue, if any praising of discipline, think ye these things,Verse 9that also ye have learned, and taken, and heard, and seen in me. Do ye these things, and God of peace shall be with you.Verse 10But I joyed greatly in the Lord, that sometime afterward ye flowered again to feel for me, as also ye feeled. But ye were occupied,Verse 11I say not as for need, for I have learned to be sufficient in which things I am.Verse 12And I know also how to be lowed, [or how to be bowed, or meeked], I know also how to have plenty [or how to abound]. Every-where and in all things I am taught to be [full]-filled, and to hunger, and to abound, and to suffer mis-ease.Verse 13I may all things in him that comforteth me.Verse 14Nevertheless ye have done well, communing to my tribulation.Verse 15For ye, Philippians, know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communed with me in reason, of thing given and taken, but ye alone.Verse 16Which sent to Thessalonica once and twice also into use to me.Verse 17Not for I seek gift, but I require, [or seek again], fruit abounding in your reason.Verse 18For I have all things, and abound; I am [full]-filled [or replete] with those things taken of Epaphroditus, which ye sent into the odour of sweetness, a covenable sacrifice, pleasing to God.Verse 19And my God [ful]fill all your desire, by his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.Verse 20But to God and our Father be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.Verse 21Greet ye well every holy man in Christ Jesus. Those brethren that be with me, greet you well.Verse 22All holy men greet you well, most soothly they that be of the emperor’s [or of Caesar’s] house.Verse 23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
