Philippians 4:2-9 - Exhortation, Encouragement, And Prayer

² I conjure Euodias, and I conjure Syntyche to be perfectly united in the Lord. ³ yea, I intreat thee too, my faithful collegue, to assist them both, for they assisted me in the gospel, as well as Clement, and my other collegues, whose names are in the book of life. ⁴ Rejoice in the Lord alway: I say it again, rejoice. ⁵ let your meekness be known unto all men. ⁶ the Lord is coming: be not in any manner of sollicitude, but in all your occasions lay your requests before God by prayer and supplication accompany'd by thanksgiving. ⁷ and the favour of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall keep your hearts and mind attach'd to Jesus Christ.

⁸ Finally, my brethren, whatever has the character of truth, of dignity, of justice, of chastity, whatever can procure you esteem and reputation, in a word, if there be any thing virtuous or praise-worthy, let that be the object of your enquiry. ⁹ practise what I have taught, what you have learnt of me, what you have heard me preach, and seen me practise. this do, and the God of peace will then be with you.
