Okwebaza
104:10 2Ko 11:9Nasanyuka nnyo mu Mukama waffe, kubanga kaakano oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga muzzeemu okundowoozaako buggya, kubanga mwali munzisaako nnyo omwoyo, naye temwalina mukisa ku kiraga. 114:11 1Ti 6:6, 8Soogera kino olwokubanga Ndiko kye nneetaaga, kubanga mu buli mbeera gye mbaamu nayiga okumalibwanga. 124:12 a 1Ko 4:11 b 2Ko 11:9Mmanyi okubeera nga sirina kantu, era mmanyi okuba nga nnina buli kimu. Mu buli ngeri ne mu bintu byonna nayiga ekyama ekiri mu kukkusibwa ne mu kuba omuyala, mu kuba n’ebingi ne mu bwetaavu. 134:13 2Ko 12:9Nnyinza okukola byonna mu oyo ampa amaanyi.

Biri ng’akaloosa akalungi ennyo aka ssaddaaka esanyusa era esiimibwa Katonda. 194:19 a Zab 23:1; 2Ko 9:8 b Bar 2:4Kale ne Katonda wange alibawa buli kye mwetaaga ng’obugagga bwe obungi obuli mu Kristo Yesu bwe buli.

214:21 Bag 1:2Munnamusize buli mutukuvu mu Kristo Yesu; era n’abooluganda abali wano nange babalamusizza.
224:22 Bik 9:13Era n’abatukuvu bonna babatumidde, naye okusingira ddala abo abali mu lubiri lwa Kayisaali.
23Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo kibeerenga nammwe.
Amiina.
Closing appeal for steadfastness and unity
1Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!
2I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Final exhortations
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Thanks for their gifts
10I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
14Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. 15Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; 16for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. 17Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. 18I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
20To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Final greetings
21Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus.
The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.
22All God’s people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.4:23 Some manuscripts do not have Amen.
