Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 4:6

Be careful for nothing - That is, be not anxious or solicitous about the things of the present life. The word used here - μεριμνᾶτε merimnate - does not mean that we are to exercise no care about worldly matters - no care to preserve our property, or to provide for our families (compare 1 Timothy 5:8); but that there is to be such confidence in God as to free the mind from anxiety, and such a sense of dependence on him as to keep it calm; see the subject explained in the notes on Matthew... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 4:7

And the peace of God - The peace which God gives. The peace here particularly referred to is that which is felt when we have no anxious care about the supply of our needs, and when we go confidently and commit everything into the hands of God. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee;” Isaiah 26:3; see the notes at John 14:27.Which passeth all understanding - That is, which surpasses all that people had conceived or imagined. The expression is one that denotes that the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren - As for what remains - τὸ λοιπὸν to loipon - or as a final counsel or exhortation.Whatsoever things are true - In this exhortation the apostle assumes that there were certain things admitted to be true, and pure, and good, in the world, which had not been directly revealed, or which were commonly regarded as such by the people of the world, and his object is to show them that such things ought to be exhibited by the Christian. Everything that was honest and just toward God... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Philippians 4:4-7

Philippians 4:4-7. Rejoice in the Lord alway For, as believers in Christ, as children and heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ of the heavenly, incorruptible inheritance, and as persons assured that all things, even those that are the most distressing in appearance, shall work together for your good, you have sufficient reason for rejoicing always. And again I say, Rejoice The apostle repeats the exhortation, because the honour of Christ, and the comfort of his followers, greatly... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Philippians 4:8-9

Philippians 4:8-9. Finally Το λοιπον , as for what remains for me to say, it may be despatched in a few words. The apostle, says Macknight, “being anxious to make the Philippians virtuous, mentions, in this exhortation, all the different foundations on which virtue had been placed, to show that it does not rest on any of these singly, but on them all jointly; and that its amiableness and obligation result from” whatsoever things are true Conformable to truth; honest Σεμνα , grave, ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 4:1-9

4:1-23 ENCOURAGEMENT AND THANKSConcerning thoughts and conduct (4:1-9)With words of warmest friendship, Paul encourages the Philippians to stand firm and not be shaken by problems that arise, whether inside the church or outside. He appeals to two women who had quarrelled to become friends again. The women had once worked with Paul, and no doubt they would be a help to the church if they were united. He asks a close friend in the church to do all he can to help these women forget their... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 4:6

In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.In nothing be anxious ... In Matthew 6:25-34, our Lord gave extensive admonition on the subject of anxiety; and reference is here made to the comment on those passages in my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 6:25ff. In order to avoid anxiety here, Paul followed exactly the instruction given by the Lord during his ministry.We must agree with Hendriksen that Paul's... read more
