1. So then, my brothers and sisters, dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!
2. I appeal to Euodia and to Syntyche to agree in the Lord.
3. Yes, I say also to you, true companion, help them. They have struggled together in the gospel ministry along with me and Clement and my other coworkers, whose names are in the book of life.
4. Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!
5. Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near!
6. Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.
7. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
