1Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 4Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 19But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household. 23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
保罗的劝勉
1我所亲爱、所想念的弟兄姊妹，你们就是我的喜乐，我的冠冕。我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，你们要靠主坚定不移。 2我恳求友阿蝶和循都姬要在主里同心。 3忠心的同工啊，请你帮助她们二人，因为她们曾与我、革利免和其他同工一起为福音辛劳，这些人的名字都记录在生命册上了。
4你们要靠主常常喜乐！我再说，你们要喜乐！ 5要让众人都知道你们是谦和宽容的人。主快来了。 6你们应该一无挂虑，凡事要借着祷告和祈求，以感恩的心将你们的需要告诉上帝。 7这样，上帝那超越人所能理解的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心思意念。
8最后，弟兄姊妹，你们要思想一切真实、可敬、公义、纯洁、可爱、有好名声、有美德和值得赞许的事情。 9你们从我身上学习、领受、看到和听到的，都要照着去行。这样，赐平安的上帝就必与你们同在。
致谢
10我在主里真是非常喜乐，因为你们现在又一次关心我。其实你们向来都很关心我，只是没有机会。 11我并非有缺乏才这样说，因为我已经学会在任何处境中都能知足。 12我知道如何过贫穷的日子，也知道如何过富足的日子。我学到了秘诀，不论饱足或饥饿，丰裕或缺乏，在任何情况下都可以处之泰然。 13靠着赐我力量的那位，我凡事都能做。
14然而，你们与我共患难，真是太好了。 15腓立比人啊！你们也知道，在我离开马其顿传福音的初期，除了你们以外，没有别的教会供应我的需要。 16即使我在帖撒罗尼迦的时候，你们也不止一次供应过我的需要。 17我不求得到你们的馈赠，只希望你们所做的会带给你们更大的赏赐。 18我现在样样都有，丰富有余。我从以巴弗提手上收到了你们送给我的礼物，已经充足了。这些馈赠是蒙上帝悦纳的馨香祭物。 19我的上帝必按照祂在基督耶稣里的荣耀，丰丰富富地赐给你们所需用的一切。
20愿荣耀归给我们的父上帝，直到永永远远。阿们！
问候
21请代我问候在基督耶稣里的众圣徒。我这里的弟兄姊妹也问候你们。 22所有的圣徒，特别是在凯撒宫里工作的人，都问候你们。
23愿主耶稣基督的恩典与你们的灵同在！
