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.
8For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things.
9The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.
10But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again; though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it.
11But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.
