Philippians 4:4

Philippians 4:4

Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer

2 I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche ^ato be of the same mind in the Lord.

3 ¹And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who ^alabored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in ^bthe Book of Life.

4 ^aRejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your¹ gentleness be known to all men. ^aThe Lord is at hand.

6 ^aBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with ^bthanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 and ^athe peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Meditate on These Things

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are ^atrue, whatever things are ^bnoble, whatever things are ^cjust, ^dwhatever things are pure, whatever things are ^elovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Again I will say (palin erw). Future active indicative of defective verb eipon.

Rejoice (xairete). Present active imperative as in Philippians 3:1, repeated for emphasis in spite of discouragements. Not in the sense of "Farewell" here.
