Philippians 3 : 20 - 4 : 9
Chapter 3
| 20 | For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
|
| 21 | who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
|
Chapter 4
| 1 | Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
|
| 2 | I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
|
| 3 | And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, 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 men. The Lord is at hand.
|
| 6 | Be anxious for 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 all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
|
| 8 | Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.
|
| 9 | The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
