Philippians 4:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche[a] to come to a mutual understanding in the Lord. 3 Yes, and I ask you also, my true yokemate,[b] 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.(A)
Joy and Peace. 4 Rejoice[c] in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!(B)
