腓立比书 第 4 章 · 靠主常常喜乐

¹我所亲爱、所想念的弟兄们，你们就是我的喜乐，我的冠冕。我亲爱的弟兄，你们应当靠主站立得稳。Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

²我劝友阿爹和循都基，要在主里同心。I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

³我也求你这真实同负一轭的，帮助这两个女人，因为他们在福音上曾与我一同劳苦；还有革利免，并其余和我一同做工的，他们的名字都在生命册上。And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

⁴你们要靠主常常喜乐。我再说，你们要喜乐。Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

⁵当叫众人知道你们谦让的心。主已经近了。Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

⁶应当一无罣虑，只要凡事借着祷告、祈求，和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

⁷神所赐、出人意外的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念。And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

⁸弟兄们，我还有未尽的话：凡是真实的、可敬的、公义的、清洁的、可爱的、有美名的，若有甚么德行，若有甚么称赞，这些事你们都要思念。Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

⁹你们在我身上所学习的，所领受的，所听见的，所看见的，这些事你们都要去行，赐平安的神就必与你们同在。Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

¹⁰我靠主大大的喜乐，因为你们思念我的心如今又发生；你们向来就思念我，只是没得机会。But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

¹¹我并不是因缺乏说这话；我无论在甚么景况都可以知足，这是我已经学会了。Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

¹²我知道怎样处卑贱，也知道怎样处丰富；或饱足，或饥饿；或有余，或缺乏，随事随在，我都得了秘诀。I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

¹³我靠着那加给我力量的，凡事都能做。I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

¹⁴然而，你们和我同受患难原是美事。Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

¹⁵腓立比人哪，你们也知道我初传福音离了马其顿的时候，论到授受的事，除了你们以外，并没有别的教会供给我。Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

¹⁶就是我在帖撒罗尼迦，你们也一次两次的打发人供给我的需用。For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

¹⁷我并不求甚么餽送，所求的就是你们的果子渐渐增多，归在你们的账上。Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

¹⁸但我样样都有，并且有余。我已经充足，因我从以巴弗提受了你们的餽送，当作极美的香气，为神所收纳、所喜悦的祭物。But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

¹⁹我的神必照他荣耀的丰富，在基督耶稣里，使你们一切所需用的都充足。But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

²⁰愿荣耀归给我们的父神，直到永永远远。阿们！Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²¹请问在基督耶稣里的各位圣徒安。在我这里的众弟兄都问你们安。Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

²²众圣徒都问你们安。在该撒家里的人特特的问你们安。All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household.

²³愿主耶稣基督的恩常在你们心里！The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
