1. So then, my beloved and greatly desired brothers, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.
2. I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to be in agreement in the Lord.
3. Yes, I ask also you, true yokefellow, help them, who struggled along with me in the gospel with both Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
4. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.
5. Let your gentleness be made known to all people. The Lord is near.
6. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are pleasing, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these things.
