Rejoice in the Lord

4 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in [the] Lord, my beloved.

2 I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree [with each other] in [the] Lord. 3 Yes, and[fn] I ask you, [my] true yokefellow,[fn] to help these [women] who have contended side by side with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in [the] Book of Life.

4 Rejoice in [the] Lord always. I will say [it] again: Rejoice! 5 {Let} your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord [is] near.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever [is] honorable, whatever [is] right, whatever [is] pure, whatever [is] lovely, whatever [is] admirable—if anything [is] excellent [or] praiseworthy—think on these things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard [from me], or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
