Finally, brethren, whatever things have the character of truth, whatever things are worthy of reverence, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are attractive, whatever excellence there is or fit object of praise, these things make the subject of careful reflection. The things also which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things habitually practice, and the God of peace shall be with you.
10–13 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that already once more you let your concern for my welfare blossom into activity again, in which matter you were all along thoughtful, but you never had an opportunity. It is not that I speak as regards a need, for, so far as I am concerned, I have come to learn, in the circumstances in which I am placed, to be independent of these and self-sufficient. I know in fact how to discipline myself in lowly circumstances. I know in fact how to conduct myself when I have more than enough. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret, both to be satiated and to be hungry, and to have more than enough and to lack. I am strong for all things in the One who constantly infuses strength in me.
14–19 All the same, you did a beautiful thing when you made yourselves fellow partakers with me in my tribulation. But you yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the good news, when I went out from Macedonia, not even one assembly made itself a partner with me as regards an account of giving and receiving except you only, that even in Thessalonica more than once you sent to relieve my necessity. Not that it is my character to be ever seeking the gift, but I am seeking the fruit which is accumulating to your account. But I have all things to the full and overflowing. I have been filled completely full and at present am well supplied, having received at the hands of Epaphroditus the things from you, a fragrant aroma, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. But my God shall satisfy to the full your every need in accordance with His wealth in glory in Christ Jesus.
20–23 Now to God, even our Father, be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren with me send greeting to you. All the saints send greeting to you, especially those of Caesar’s household. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, with all of you in this respect individually.
