1 Zato, braćo moja ljubazna i poželjena, radosti i venče moj! Tako stojte u Gospodu, ljubazni. 2 Evodiju molim, i Sintihiju molim da jedno misle u Gospodu, 3 da, molim i tebe, druže pravi, pomaži njima koji se u jevanđelju trudiše sa mnom, i Klementom, i s ostalima pomagačima mojim, kojih su imena u knjizi života. 4 Radujte se svagda u Gospodu, i opet velim: radujte se. 5 Krotost vaša da bude poznata svim ljudima. 6 Gospod je blizu. Ne brinite se nizašta nego u svemu molitvom i moljenjem sa zahvaljivanjem da se javljaju Bogu iskanja vaša. 7 I mir Božji, koji prevazilazi svaki um, da sačuva srca vaša i misli vaše u Gospodu Isusu. 8 A dalje, braćo moja, šta je god istinito, šta je god pošteno, šta je god pravedno, šta je god prečisto, šta je god preljubazno, šta je god slavno, i još ako ima koja dobrodetelj, i ako ima koja pohvala, to mislite, 9 što i naučiste, i primiste i čuste, i videste u meni, ono činite, i Bog mira biće s vama. 10 Obradovah se, pak, vrlo u Gospodu što se opet opomenuste starati se za mene; kao što se i staraste, ali se nezgodnim vremenom zadržaste. 11 Ne govorim zbog nedostatka, jer se ja navikoh biti dovoljan onim u čemu sam. 12 Znam se i poniziti, znam i izobilovati; u svemu i svakojako navikoh, i sit biti, i gladovati, i izobilovati, i nemati. 13 Sve mogu u Isusu Hristu koji mi moć daje. 14 Ali dobro učiniste što se primiste moje nevolje. 15 A znate i vi, Filibljani, da od početka jevanđelja, kad iziđoh iz Makedonije, nijedna mi crkva ne prista u stvar davanja i uzimanja osim vas jednih; 16 jer i u Solun i jednom i drugom poslaste mi u potrebu moju. 17 Ne kao da tražim dar, nego tražim plod koji se množi na korist vašu. 18 A ja sam primio sve i imam izobila. Ispunio sam se primivši od Epafrodita šta ste mi poslali, slatki miris, prilog prijatan, ugodan Bogu. 19 A Bog moj da ispuni svaku potrebu vašu po bogatstvu svom u slavi, u Hristu Isusu. 20 A Bogu i Ocu našem slava va vek veka. Amin. 21 Pozdravite svakog svetog u Hristu Isusu. Pozdravljaju vas braća što su sa mnom. 22 Pozdravljaju vas svi sveti, a osobito koji su iz doma Ćesarevog. 23 Blagodat Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista sa svima vama. Amin.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"Blessed are they that mourn," and "woe unto them that laugh" (Matt. v. 4; Luke vi. 25.), saith Christ. How then saith Paul, "Rejoice in the Lord alway"? "Woe to them that laugh," said Christ, the laughter of this world which ariseth from the things which are present.

… the Levites shall have no part in the whole tribe of Levi, nor substance with Israel; their substance is the offerings (fructifications) of the Lord: these shall they eat." Wherefore also Paul says, "I do not seek after a gift, but I seek after fruit." To His disciples He said, who had a priesthood of the Lord, to whom it …
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Lo!

Heardest thou not what Paul saith, "Rejoice in the Lord?" He said not, "in the devil." When then wilt thou be able to hear Paul?

… the adversary, so likewise ye, after Holy Baptism and the Mystical Chrism, having put on the whole armour of the Holy Ghost, are to stand against the power of the adversary, and vanquish it, saying, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
