Verse 4
New King James Version
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!This is a repetition of the exhortation in the preceding chapter; (See Gill on Philippians 3:1); with this addition "alway"; for there is always cause and matter for rejoicing in Christ, even in times of affliction, distress, and persecution; since he is always the same; his grace is always sufficient; his blood has a continual virtue in it, and always speaks for peace and pardon; his righteousness is an everlasting one, and so is his salvation, and such is his love; though some join this word with what follows,
this is what was continually inculcated by him, as being of great importance and use for the comfort of believers, and the honour of Christ.
Verse 6
New King James Version
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;Verse 7
New King James Version
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
