4:1 Therefore, my brethren most dear-worthy and most desired, my joy and my crown, so stand ye in the Lord, most dear brethren . 4:2 I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, to understand the same thing in the Lord. 4:3 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. 4:4 Joy ye in the Lord evermore; again I say, joy ye. 4:5 Be your patience known to all men [Be your temperance, or patience , known to all men]; the Lord is nigh. 4:6 Be ye nothing busy [Be nothing busy], but in all prayer and beseeching, with doing of thankings, be your askings known at God. 4:7 And the peace of God, that passeth all wit, keep your hearts and understandings in Christ Jesus. 4:8 From henceforth, brethren, whatever things be sooth, whatever things chaste, whatever things just, whatever things holy, whatever things able to be loved [ a ] , whatever things of good fame, if any virtue, if any praising of discipline, think ye (on) these things, 4:9 that also ye have learned, and taken, and heard, and seen in me. Do ye these things, and God of peace shall be with you. 4:10 But I joyed greatly in the Lord, that sometime afterward ye flowered again to feel for me [for sometime afterward ye again flourished for to feel for me], as also ye feeled. But ye were occupied, 4:11 I say not as for need, for I have learned to be sufficient in which things I am. [I say not as for need, for I have learned, in which things I am, sufficient to be.] 4:12 And I know also how to be lowed, I know also how to have plenty. Every where and in all things I am taught to be filled, and to hunger, and to abound, and to suffer need. [ b ] 4:13 I may all things in him that comforteth me. 4:14 Nevertheless ye have done well, communing to my tribulation. 4:15 For 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. 4:16 Which sent to Thessalonica once and twice also into use to me. [For and to Thessalonica ye sent once and twice into use to me.] 4:17 Not for I seek gift, but I require fruit abounding in your reason. [Not for I seek gift, but I require, or seek again , fruit abounding in your reason.] 4:18 For I have all things, and abound; I am filled [ c ] with those things taken of Epaphroditus, which ye sent into the odour of sweetness, a suitable sacrifice [a covenable host, or sacrifice ], pleasing to God. 4:19 And my God fill all your desire, by his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. [Forsooth my God full-fill all your desire, after his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.] 4:20 But to God and our Father be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen. 4:21 Greet ye well every holy man in Christ Jesus. Those brethren that be with me, greet you well. 4:22 All holy men greet you well, most soothly they that be of the emperor's house [most soothly those that be of Caesar's house]. 4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
