1. My dear brothers, I love you and want to see you. You bring me joy and make me proud of you. Continue following the Lord as I have told you.
2. I ask Euodia and Syntyche to agree in the Lord.
3. And because you serve faithfully with me, my friend, I ask you to help these women to do this. They served with me in telling people the Good News. They served together with Clement and others who worked with me. Their names are written in the book of life.
4. Be full of joy in the Lord always. I will say again, be full of joy.
5. Let all men see that you are gentle and kind. The Lord is coming soon.
6. Do not worry about anything. But pray and ask God for everything you need. And when you pray, always give thanks.
