om whence also we look for
the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,

3:21. Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of
his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue
all things unto himself.

Philippians Chapter 4

He exhorts them to perseverance in all good and acknowledges their
charitable contributions to him.

4:1. Therefore my dearly beloved brethren and most desired, my joy and
my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

4:2. I beg of Evodia and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind in the
Lord.

4:3. And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who

fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

4:4. Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I say, rejoice.

supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to

4:7. And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your
hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
