Philippians 4:13 (NASB)
Think of Excellence

1Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I (A)long to see, my joy and crown, in this way (B)stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to (C)live in harmony in the Lord.

3Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my (D)fellow workers, whose (E)names are in the book of life.

4(F)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

5Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. (G)The Lord is near.

6(H)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by (I)prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

7And (J)the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will (K)guard your hearts and your (L)minds in (M)Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brethren, (N)whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

9The things you have learned and received and heard and seen (O)in me, practice these things, and (P)the God of peace will be with you.

God's Provisions
10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last (Q)you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.
11Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be (R)content in whatever circumstances I am.

12I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going (S)hungry, both of having abundance and (T)suffering need.

13I can do all things through Him who (U)strengthens me.

14Nevertheless, you have done well to (V)share with me in my affliction.

15You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the (W)first preaching of the gospel, after I left (X)Macedonia, no church (Y)shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

16for even in (Z)Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

17(AA)Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

18But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from (AB)Epaphroditus what you have sent, (AC)a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

19And (AD)my God will supply all your needs according to His (AE)riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

20Now to (AF)our God and Father (AG)be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. (AH)The brethren who are with me greet you.

22(AI)All the (AJ)saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.

23(AK)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (AL)be with your spirit.
