AI-assisted, sourcedPhilippians 4:4-9Rejoice, pray, think on these things
About Philippians 4Paul asks Euodias and Syntyche to be "of the same mind in the Lord" and tells the church, "Rejoice in the Lord alway." Instead of worrying, they are to pray "with thanksgiving," and "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds," and to think on whatever is true, honest, just, pure and lovely. He thanks them for their gift by Epaphroditus, saying he has learned to be content in every state, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me," and "my God shall supply all your need."
