1. Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved.
2. I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to come to a mutual understanding in the Lord.
3. Yes, and I ask you also, my true yokemate, to help them, for they have struggled at my side in promoting the gospel, along with Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4. Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!
5. Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near.
6. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.
7. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
