4aRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

5Let your considerate spirit be known to all men. aThe Lord is 1near.

6aBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by bprayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

7And athe peace of God, which surpasses all 1comprehension, will bguard your hearts and your cminds in dChrist Jesus.

8Finally, brothers, awhatever is true, whatever is dignified, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is 1lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, consider these things.

9The things you have learned and received and heard and seen ain me, practice these things, and bthe God of peace will be with you.

God Will Fill Your Needs

10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last ayou have revived thinking about me; indeed, you were thinking about me before, but you lacked opportunity.

11Not that I speak 1from want, for I learned to be 2acontent in whatever circumstances I am.

12I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in abundance; in any and all things I have learned the secret of being filled and going ahungry, both of having abundance and bsuffering need.

13I can do all things 1through Him who astrengthens me.

Read in Logos
Philippians 4:11: Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
