And so, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, with reverence and self-distrust work out your own salvation;

while you wage the same conflict which you once saw in me, and now hear that I maintain.

I entreat you to make my joy overflow by living in harmony; possessing the same love, and with one soul united in one purpose.

I will rejoice and congratulate you all; and in the same way you must rejoice and congratulate me.

Finally, my brothers, continue to rejoice in the Lord. To write the same thing is not indeed wearisome to me, and it is safe for you.

Euodia I entreat, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of the same mind of the Lord;
