Philippians 4 1 - 3
Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long
for, my joy and crown, that is how you should
stand firm in the Lord, dear friends! I plead
with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree
with each other in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you,
loyal yoke-fellow, help these women who have
contended at my side in the cause of the gospel,
along with Clement and the rest of my
fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of
life.

Philippians 4 6 9
Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And
the peace of God which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers,
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable if anything is excellent
or praiseworthy think about such things.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard
from me, or seen in me put it into practise.
And the God of peace will be with you.
