3. For this I make a special request to my friend who has served with me so faithfully: Help these women. They worked hard with me in telling people the Good News, together with Clement and others who worked with me. Their names are written in the book of life.
4. Always be filled with joy in the Lord. I will say it again. Be filled with joy.
5. Let everyone see that you are gentle and kind. The Lord is coming soon.
6. Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have.
7. And because you belong to Christ Jesus, God’s peace will stand guard over all your thoughts and feelings. His peace can do this far better than our human minds.
