1. Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brothers, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.
2. I exhort Euodia and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
3. I ask you also, true companion, help those women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with my other fellow laborers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4. Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5. Let everyone come to know your gentleness. The Lord is at hand.
6. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with gratitude, make your requests known to God.
7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
