The Lord *is* at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things *are* honest, whatsoever things *are* just, whatsoever things *are* pure, whatsoever things *are* lovely, whatsoever things *are* of good report; if *there be* any virtue, and if *there be* any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, *therewith* to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things *which were sent* from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father *be* glory for ever and ever. Amen. 21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ *be* with you all. Amen. [Philippians 3](/study/philippians/3) [Colossians 1](/study/colossians/1) ## Commentary To verse 1 **Therefore;**this particle connotes that which follows to be inferred by way of conclusion from what he had premised in the close of the former chapter, in opposition to the shame of the earthly-minded, concerning the glory of the heavenly-minded. **My brethren;**he affectionately owns them to be his brethren in *the common faith,*[Titus 1:4](/kjv/titus/1/4). **Dearly beloved;**those who, not being enticed by the insinuations of seducers, did adhere to him, had his sincere affections, [Philippians 2:12](/kjv/philippians/2/12). **And longed for;**whose safety and felicity every way he most heartily desired, [Philippians 1:8](/kjv/philippians/1/8); [Philippians 2:26](/kjv/philippians/2/26); with [Romans 1:11](/kjv/romans/1/11); [1 Thessalonians 3:6](/kjv/1-thessalonians/3/6). **My joy;**intimating how their faith and holiness did at present afford matter of rejoicing to him, [Philippians 1:4](/kjv/philippians/1/4),[Philippians 1:7](/kjv/philippians/1/7),[Philippians 1:8](/kjv/philippians/1/8), with [1 Thessalonians 2:19](/kjv/1-thessalonians/2/19),[1 Thessalonians 2:20](/kjv/1-thessalonians/2/20). **And crown;**he was not ambitious of man’s applause, but accounted them his honour and glory, the great ornament of his ministry, whereby they were converted to Christ, (as elsewhere in Scripture a crown is taken figuratively, [Proverbs 12:4](/kjv/proverbs/12/4); [Proverbs 14:24](/kjv/proverbs/14/24); [Proverbs 16:31](/kjv/proverbs/16/31); [Proverbs 17:6](/kjv/proverbs/17/6)), [1 Thessalonians 2:19](/kjv/1-thessalonians/2/19); the reward which had some similitude with the honour they had who were victorious in a race, [Philippians 2:16](/kjv/philippians/2/16),[Philippians 2:17](/kjv/philippians/2/17); as [James 1:12](/kjv/james/1/12); [1 Peter 5:4](/kjv/1-peter/5/4); [Revelation 2:10](/kjv/revelation/2/10); [Revelation 3:11](/kjv/revelation/3/11). **So stand fast;**he exhorteth them not barely to stand, but so to stand that they did not fall, [1 Corinthians 10:12](/kjv/1-corinthians/10/12). Hereupon he adds, **in the Lord;**i.e. considering their relation unto Christ, they would derive power and virtue from him, into whom they were implanted, to persevere, conformably to his will, in Christian concord, till they were made like to him, [Philippians 3:21](/kjv/philippians/3/21), with [Philippians 1:27](/kjv/philippians/1/27); [John 15:4](/kjv/john/15/4),[John 15:7](/kjv/john/15/7); [1 Corinthians 15:58](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/58); [1 Corinthians 16:13](/kjv/1-corinthians/16/13); [Galatians 5:7](/kjv/galatians/5/7); [Ephesians 6:11](/kjv/ephesians/6/11),[Ephesians 6:14](/kjv/ephesians/6/14). **My dearly beloved;**in whom looking upon them, (the more to fix them), he pathetically and rhetorically repeats his endearing compellation *beloved.* ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4","name":"Philippians 4 - Study King James Bible with pooles english annotations on the holy bible","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Philippians 4 with pooles english annotations on the holy bible commentary. 1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech S","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible","name":"pooles english annotations on the holy bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians","name":"Philippians"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/pooles-english-annotations-on-the-holy-bible/philippians/4","name":"4"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
