MY WORD
Philippians 4:1–19 (The Living Bible) 1 Dear brother Christians, I love you and long to see you, for you
are my joy and my reward for my work. My beloved friends, stay true to the
Lord. 2 And now I want to plead with those two dear women, Euodias
and Syntyche. Please, please, with the
Lord’s help, quarrel no more—be friends again. 3 And I ask you,
my true teammate, to help these women, for they worked side by side with me in
telling the Good News to others; and they worked with Clement, too, and the
rest of my fellow workers whose names are written in the Book of Life. 4
Always be full of joy in the Lord; I say
it again, rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are unselfish and
considerate in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and
don’t forget to thank him for his answers. 7 If you do this, you
will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind
can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at
rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, brothers, as I
close this letter, let me say this one more thing: Fix your thoughts on what is
true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell
on the fine, good things in others.
Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. 9 Keep
putting into practice all you learned from me and saw me doing, and the God of
peace will be with you. 10 How grateful I am and how I praise the
Lord that you are helping me again. I know you have always been anxious to send
what you could, but for a while you didn’t have the chance. 11 Not
that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to get along happily whether I
have much or little. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with
everything. I have learned the secret of contentment in every situation,
whether it be a full stomach or hunger, plenty or want; 13 for I can
do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength
and power. 14 But even so, you have done right in helping me in my
present difficulty. 15 As you well know, when I first brought the
Gospel to you and then went on my way, leaving Macedonia, only you Philippians
became my partners in giving and receiving. No other church did this. 16
Even when I was over in Thessalonica you sent help twice. 17 But though I appreciate your gifts, what makes me
happiest is the well-earned reward you will have because of your kindness. 18
At the moment I have all I need—more than I need! I am generously supplied with
the gifts you sent me when Epaphroditus came. They are a sweet-smelling
sacrifice that pleases God well. 19 And it is he who will supply all
your needs from his riches in glory because of what Christ Jesus has done for
us.
Galatians 6:1–10 (CJB) 1 Brothers, suppose someone is caught doing something wrong. You who have
the Spirit should set him right, but in a spirit of humility, keeping an eye on
yourselves so that you won’t be tempted too. 2 Bear one another’s
burdens—in this way you will be fulfilling the Torah’s true meaning,
which the Messiah upholds. 3 For if anyone thinks he is
something when he is really nothing, he is fooling himself. 4 So let
each of you scrutinize his own actions. Then if you do find something to boast
about, at least the boasting will be based on what you have actually done and
not merely on a judgment that you are better than someone else; 5 for
each person will carry his own load. 6 But whoever is being
instructed in the Word should share all the good things he has with his
instructor. 7 Don’t delude
yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows. 8
Those who keep sowing in the field of their old nature, in order to meet its
demands, will eventually reap ruin; but those who keep sowing in the field of
the Spirit will reap from the Spirit everlasting life. 9 So let
us not grow weary of doing what is good; for if we don’t give up, we will in
due time reap the harvest. 10 Therefore, as the opportunity arises,
let us do what is good to everyone, and especially to the family of those who
are trustingly faithful.
Philippians 2:1–11 (NKJV) 1 Therefore if there
is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of
the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being
like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3
Let nothing be done
through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem
others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for
his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Let this
mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in
the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7
but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and
coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a
man, He humbled Himself and became
obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above
every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
[Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context asking
the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
