in connection with the Good News, together with
Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are recorded
in the Book of Life. 004:004 Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it,
be glad. 004:005 Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one-- the
Lord is near. 004:006 Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by

prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your
request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God. 004:007
And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought,
will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ
Jesus. 004:008 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins
respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable,
whatever is of good repute--if there is any virtue or anything deemed
worthy of praise--cherish the thought of these things. 004:009 The
doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you-- both what you
heard and what you saw in me--hold fast to them; and God who gives
peace will be with you. 004:010 But I rejoice with a deep and holy joy
that now at length you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare.
Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although opportunity
failed you. 004:011 I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for
(for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to
be content. 004:012 I know both how to live in humble circumstances
and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the
mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.
004:013 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
004:014 Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles. 004:015
And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first
preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other
Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving
and receiving; 004:016 because even in Thessalonica you sent several
times to minister to my needs. 004:017 Not that I crave for gifts from
you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour. 004:018 I
have enough of everything--and more than enough. My wants are fully
satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the
generous gifts which you sent me--they are a fragrant odor, an
acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God. 004:019 But my God--so
great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus-- will fully supply every
need of yours. 004:020 And to our God and Father be the glory
throughout the Ages of the Ages! Amen. 004:021 My Christian
greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me
send their greetings. 004:022 All God's people here greet
you--especially the members of Caesar's household. 004:023 May the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance of the
official release dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be
encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, even years after the
official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of

often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish
to do so.
