1. Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved.
2. I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to come to a mutual understanding in the Lord.
3. Yes, and I ask you also, my true yokemate, to help them, for they have struggled at my side in promoting the gospel, along with Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4. Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!
5. Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near.
