Philippians 4

1 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

1 我所親愛、所想念的弟兄們，你們就是我的喜樂，我的冠冕。我親愛的弟兄，你們應當靠主站立得穩。

2 I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.

2 我勸友阿蝶和循都基，要在主裏同心。

3 Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have contended at my side for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

3 我也求你這真實同負一軛的，幫助這兩個女人，因為她們在福音上曾與我一同勞苦；還有革利免，並其餘和我一同做工的，他們的名字都在生命冊上。

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

4 你們要靠主常常喜樂。我再說，你們要喜樂。

5 Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.

5 當叫眾人知道你們謙讓的心。主已經近了。

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

6 應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉着禱告、祈求，和感謝，將你們所要的告訴上帝。

7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

7 上帝所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裏保守你們的心懷意念。

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

8 弟兄們，我還有未盡的話：凡是真實的、可敬的、公義的、清潔的、可愛的、有美名的，若有甚麼德行，若有甚麼稱讚，這些事你們都要思念。

9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

9 你們在我身上所學習的，所領受的，所聽見的，所看見的，這些事你們都要去行，賜平安的上帝就必與你們同在。

10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

10 我靠主大大地喜樂，因為你們思念我的心如今又發生；你們向來就思念我，只是沒得機會。

11 I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.

11 我並不是因缺乏說這話；我無論在甚麼景況都可以知足，這是我已經學會了。

12 I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. In any and every situation I have learned the secret of being filled and being hungry, of having plenty and having need.

12 我知道怎樣處卑賤，也知道怎樣處豐富；或飽足，或飢餓；或有餘，或缺乏，隨事隨在，我都得了秘訣。

13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

13 我靠着那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。

14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.

14 然而，你們和我同受患難原是美事。

15 And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.

15 腓立比人哪，你們也知道我初傳福音離了馬其頓的時候，論到授受的事，除了你們以外，並沒有別的教會供給我。

16 For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.

16 就是我在帖撒羅尼迦，你們也一次兩次地打發人供給我的需用。

17 Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.

17 我並不求甚麼餽送，所求的就是你們的果子漸漸增多，歸在你們的帳上。

18 I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

18 但我樣樣都有，並且有餘。我已經充足，因我從以巴弗提受了你們的餽送，當作極美的香氣，為上帝所收納、所喜悅的祭物。

19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

19 我的上帝必照他榮耀的豐富，在基督耶穌裏，使你們一切所需用的都充足。

20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

20 願榮耀歸給我們的父上帝，直到永永遠遠。阿們！

21 Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.

21 請問在基督耶穌裏的各位聖徒安。在我這裏的眾弟兄都問你們安。

22 All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.

22 眾聖徒都問你們安。在凱撒家裏的人特特地問你們安。

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

23 願主耶穌基督的恩常在你們心裏！
