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

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

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

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

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