BRS.PHILIPPIANS.04

1 My dear brothers and sisters, I love you and want to see you. You bring me joy and make me proud of you. Continue following the Master YAHUSHA as I have told you. 2 Euodia and Syntyche, you both belong to the Master, so please agree with each other. 3 For this, I make a special request to my friend who has served with me so loyally: Help these women. They worked hard with me in telling people the Good News, together with Clement and others who worked with me. Their names are written in the book of life. 4 Always be filled with joy in the Master YAHUSHA. I will say it again. Be filled with joy.

5 Let everyone see that you are gentle and kind. The Master is coming soon. 6 Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask YAHUSHA for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have. 7 And because you belong to MESSIAH YAHUSHA, Alahim’s peace will stand guard over all your thoughts and feelings. His peace can do this far better than our human minds.

8 Brothers and sisters, continue to think about what is good and worthy of praise. Think about what is true and honourable and right and pure and beautiful and respected. 9 And do what you learned and received from me—what I told you and what you saw me do. And the Alahim who gives peace will be with you.

10 I am so happy, and I thank the Master that you have again shown your care for me. You continued to care about me, but there was no way for you to show it. 11 I am telling you this, but not because I need something. I have learned to be satisfied with what I have and with whatever happens. 12 I know how to live when I am poor and when I have plenty. I have learned the secret of how to live through any kind of situation—when I have enough to eat or when I am hungry, when I have everything I need or when I have nothing. 13 YAHUSHA is the one Who gives me the strength I need to do whatever I must do.

14 But it was good that you helped me when I needed help. 15 You people in Philippi remember when I first told the Good News there. When I left Macedonia, you were the only Assembly that gave me help. 16 Several times you sent me things I needed when I was in Thessalonica. 17 Really, it is not that I want to get gifts from you. But I want you to have the benefit that comes from giving. 18 I have everything I need. I have even more than I need. I have all I need because Epaphroditus brought your gift to me. Your gift is like a sweet-smelling sacrifice offered to Alahim. YAHUSHA accepts that sacrifice, and it pleases Him. 19 My Master will use His glorious riches to give you everything you need. He will do this through MESSIAH YAHUSHA. 20 Glorious-esteem and majestic-splendour to our Alahim and Father forever and ever. Amein.

21 Give our greetings to Alahim’s people there, to each one who belongs to MESSIAH YAHUSHA. Those in Alahim’s family who are with me send you their greetings. 22 And greetings to you from all of Alahim’s people here, especially those who work in the service of the emperor.

23 The favour of the MASTER YAHUSHA Messiah be with you all.
