Philippians 4:7

And—The inseparable consequence of thus laying everything before God in "prayer with thanksgiving."

peace—the dispeller of "anxious care" (Philippians 4:6).

of God—coming from God, and resting in God (John 14:27; John 16:33; Colossians 3:15).

passeth—surpasseth, or exceedeth, all man's notional powers of understanding its full blessedness (I Corinthians 2:9-10; Ephesians 3:20; compare Proverbs 3:17).

shall keep—rather, "shall guard"; shall keep as a well-garrisoned stronghold (Isaiah 26:1, Isaiah 26:3). The same Greek verb is used in I Peter 1:5. There shall be peace secure within, whatever outward troubles may besiege.

hearts and minds—rather, "hearts (the seat of the thoughts) and thoughts" or purposes.

through—rather as Greek, "in Christ Jesus." It is in Christ that we are "kept" or "guarded" secure.
