(1)Therefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so
stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

(2)I beseech Euodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of the same mind in
the Lord. (3)Yea, I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help these
women, who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the
rest of my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

(4)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. (5)Let your
forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. (6)Be anxious

(14)Notwithstanding, ye did well to share with me in my affliction.
(15)And ye also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the
