1. Therefore, my brothers and sisters whom I love and long for, my joy and crown—stand firm in the Lord in this way, my loved ones.
2. I urge Euodia and Syntyche to be in harmony in the Lord.
3. Yes, and I ask you, true companion, to help these women—they labored side by side with me in spreading the Good News, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4. Rejoice in the Lord always—again I will say, rejoice!
5. Let your gentleness be known to all people. The Lord is near.
6. Do not be anxious about anything—but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7. And the shalom of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah Yeshua.
8. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise—dwell on these things.
