Berean Standard Bible

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

Philippians 4:6

Save as image

Study note

Near the end of his letter to the Philippians, Paul gives a cluster of short instructions: rejoice in the Lord, let your gentleness be known, the Lord is near. He writes from imprisonment with an uncertain future, to a church facing opposition and some internal tension.
