Philippians
4:1-9
Think! Practice!
“Therefore,
my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in
this way stand firm in THE LORD, my beloved.
2 I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche
to live in harmony in THE LORD.
3 Indeed, true companion, I ask you
also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of THE GOSPEL, together
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 gentle spirit be
known to all men. THE
LORD is near.
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 comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds
in CHRIST JESUS.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever
is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever
is lovely,
whatever is of good report,
if there is any excellence and
if
anything worthy of praise,
dwell on these things.
9 The things you have learned and
received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and THE GOD OF PEACE will
be with you.”
