1So my brothers, well loved and very dear to me, my joy and crown, be strong in the Lord, my loved ones.
2I make request to Euodias and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
3And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.
4Be glad in the Lord at all times: again I say, Be glad.
5Let your gentle behaviour be clear to all men. The Lord is near.
6Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.
7And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
