Philippians 4:1, 4-14, Revised from "The Practice of the Way"

 

As also my dear and longed for brothers, my joy and crown, in this way stand by means of the Owner, dear ones.

      Always be joyful by means of the Owner; again I will say, be joyful. Let your fairness¹ be known to all human beings. The Owner is near. Don’t be anxious about a single thing, but within everything by prayer and by petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to the God. And the peace of the God which is beyond every intellect will guard your hearts and thoughts by means of the Anointed Yeshua.

      The remaining thing, brothers, as many things as are true, as many things as are revered, as many things as are right, as many things as are purified, as many things as are cherished, as many things as are well spoken of, if anything is a virtue and if anything is praised, take these things into account; what things you also learned and received and heard and saw with me, practice these things; and the God of this peace will be with you.

      Yet I rejoiced by means of the Owner greatly that already at one point in time your being mindful on my behalf sprouted up again, upon which you were also mindful, yet you had no time. Not that I am speaking in line with a coming up short, because I myself learned to be self-sufficient within what situations I am. I know both what it is to be humble, and I know what it is to overflow; with everything and with all things I had been initiated, both to be well fed and to hunger, both to overflow and to come up short; I am strong for everything with the Anointed empowering me. However, you did well having shared with my trouble.

1In the sense of equitability, tolerance, and not necessarily according to the letter of the law.
