[Faith-talk] Philippian 4:13?

[Everett Gavel]

Hi Lisa, Eric, and all,

That's my life verse!  Philippians 4:13.  It has helped
me many a day, to not give into fear or anxiety or
whatever else the world doles out and thrives on.
Thank you Jesus, for your guidance, your wisdom, and
your grace.

Here are a couple of other versions I've gathered over
time.  My fave still so far is the NIV's. . .

Philippians 4:13
In NIV, KJV, NAS, Young's, & Darby's

Philippians 4:13
New International Version (NIV)
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.


King James Version (KJV)
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me.


New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Him who (A)strengthens me.

Cross references:
Philippians 4:13 : 2 Cor 12:9; Eph 3:16; Col 1:11


Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
Philippians 4:13
For all things I have strength, in Christ's
strengthening me;


Darby Translation (DARBY)
Philippians 4:13
I have strength for all things in him that gives me
power.

Anyone got the Message's version?  That's probably
lengthy, like the Amplified version.  They seem to be
similar in many ways.

Now, additionally, the verses before and after make a
great set, along with 4:13. . .

4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what
it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of
being content in any and every situation, whether well
fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me
strength.
4:14 Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.


There are also a few verses in Philippians 4 that go
well with a Christ-follower's life.  Many have become
almost a cliche - being shared so much.  But they are
wise words to us, from God, through His Apostle, Paul:


4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again:
Rejoice!

4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.

4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.

And 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever
is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is
excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.


"Think about such things."  Yes indeed.  Thank you
Paul, and thank you Jesus!



To Your Success, and His Glory!
