Philippians 4

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 So then, my brothers and dear friends whom I miss so much, my joy and my crown, hold firm in theLord, dear friends.	1 Therefore, my dearly beloved brethren, and most desired, my joy and my crown; so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 I urge Euodia, and I urge Syntyche to come to agreement with each other in the Lord;	2 I beg of Evodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of one mind in the Lord.
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.	3 And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Always be joyful, then, in the Lord; I repeat, be joyful.	4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice.
5 Let your good sense be obvious to everybody. The Lord is near.	5 Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is nigh.
6 Never worry about anything; but tel God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shotthrough with gratitude,	6 Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.
7 and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding wil guard your hearts and your thoughts inChrist Jesus.	7 And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
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.	8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things.
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.	9 The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God of peace shall be with you.
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.	10 Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, that now at length your thought for me hath flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied.
11 I do not say this because I have lacked anything; I have learnt to manage with whatever I have.	11 I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith.
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.	12 I know both how to be brought low, and I know how to abound: (everywhere, and in all things I am instructed) both to be full, and to be hungry; both to abound, and to suffer need.
13 There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me.	13 I can do all these things in him who strengtheneth me.
14 Al the same, it was good of you to share with me in my hardships.	14 Nevertheless you have done well in communicating to my tribulation.
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;	15 And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only:
16 and what is more, you have twice sent me what I needed in Thessalonica.	16 For unto Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use.
17 It is not the gift that I value most; what I value is the interest that is mounting up in your account.	17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account.
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.	18 But I have all, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19 And my God will fulfil al your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.	19 And may my God supply all your want, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 And so glory be to God our Father, for ever and ever. Amen.	20 Now to God and our Father be glory world without end. Amen.
21 My greetings to every one of God's holy people in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me sendyou their greetings.	21 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus.
22 Al God's holy people send you their greetings, especially those of Caesar's household.	22 The brethren who are with me, salute you. All the saints salute you; especially they that are of Caesar's household.
23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.	23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
