来自{publisher｝1Therefore, my brothers,[1] whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. (箴16:31; 箴17:6; 林后1:14; 腓1:4; 腓1:8; 腓1:27; 腓2:16)
Exhortation, Encouragement, and Prayer
2I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. (腓2:2)3Yes, I ask you also, true companion,[2] help these women, who have labored[3] side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life. (路10:20)4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. (腓3:1)5Let your reasonableness[4] be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; (雅5:8)6do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (箴16:3; 太6:25; 羅1:8)7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (赛26:3; 约14:27; 弗3:19; 腓4:9; 西3:15)8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.9What you have learned[5] and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (羅15:33; 腓3:17; 腓4:7; 帖前4:1)
God’s Provision
10I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. (林后11:9; 腓2:30)11Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. (林后9:8; 提前6:6; 提前6:8; 來13:5)12I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. (林前4:11; 林后11:9; 林后11:27)13I can do all things through him who strengthens me. (林后12:9; 弗3:16; 提前1:12)14Yet it was kind of you to share[6] my trouble. (腓1:7; 启1:9)15And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. (林后11:8; 腓1:5)16Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again.17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.[7] (羅1:13; 林后9:5; 多3:14)18I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. (创8:21; 腓2:25; 來13:16)19And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (诗23:1; 羅2:4; 林后9:8)20To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (羅11:36; 加1:4; 加1:5; 帖前1:3; 帖前3:11; 帖前3:13)
Final Greetings
21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. (加1:2)22All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household. (林后13:13)23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. (羅16:20)
