1. So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
2. I exhort Euodia, and exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord;
3. yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, 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 of all men. The Lord is near.
6. Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7. and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
