Philippians 4:4-11
Rejoice* in the Lord
always; again I will say, Rejoice.* 5Let your gentleness be known to
everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about anything, but in
everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, beloved,* whatever is true, whatever is honourable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever
is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything
worthy of praise, think about* these things. 9Keep on doing the
things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me,
and the God of peace will be with you.

10 I rejoice* in the Lord greatly that
now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were
concerned for me, but had no opportunity to show it.* 11Not that I
am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with
whatever I have.
