Philippians 4:4-7

Rejoicing, Peace, Contentment, and Gospel Partnership in Christ

From standing firm in the Lord, to reconciling gospel co-laborers, to rejoicing and prayerful peace, to disciplined thought and practice, to learned contentment and grateful gospel partnership, ending in doxology and grace.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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

5 Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

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