Philippians 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.	1 So then, my brothers and dear friends whom I miss so much, my joy and my crown, hold firm in theLord, dear friends.
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.	2 I urge Euodia, and I urge Syntyche to come to agreement with each other in the Lord;
3 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.	3 and I ask you, Syzygus, real y to be a 'partner' and help them. These women have struggled hard for thegospel with me, along with Clement and al my other fel ow-workers, whose names are written in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.	4 Always be joyful, then, in the Lord; I repeat, be joyful.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.	5 Let your good sense be obvious to everybody. The Lord is near.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.	6 Never worry about anything; but tel God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shotthrough with gratitude,
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.	7 and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding wil guard your hearts and your thoughts inChrist Jesus.
8 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.	8 Finally, brothers, let your minds be fil ed with everything that is true, everything that is honourable,everything that is upright and pure, everything that we love and admire -- with whatever is good andpraiseworthy.
9 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.	9 Keep doing everything you learnt from me and were told by me and have heard or seen me doing. Thenthe God of peace will be with you.
10 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.	10 As for me, I am full of joy in the Lord, now that at last your consideration for me has blossomed again;though I recognise that you really did have consideration before, but had no opportunity to show it.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.	11 I do not say this because I have lacked anything; I have learnt to manage with whatever I have.
12 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.	12 I know how to live modestly, and I know how to live luxuriously too: in every way now I have masteredthe secret of al conditions: ful stomach and empty stomach, plenty and poverty.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.	13 There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me.
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.	14 Al the same, it was good of you to share with me in my hardships.
15 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.	15 In the early days of the gospel, as you of Philippi wel know, when I left Macedonia, no church otherthan yourselves made common account with me in the matter of expenditure and receipts. You were the onlyones;
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.	16 and what is more, you have twice sent me what I needed in Thessalonica.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.	17 It is not the gift that I value most; what I value is the interest that is mounting up in your account.
18 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.	18 I have al that I need and more: I am ful y provided, now that I have received from Epaphroditus theoffering that you sent, a pleasing smel , the sacrifice which is acceptable and pleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.	19 And my God will fulfil al your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.	20 And so glory be to God our Father, for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.	21 My greetings to every one of God's holy people in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me sendyou their greetings.
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.	22 Al God's holy people send you their greetings, especially those of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.	23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
