4

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar"s household.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
