⁶Don’t worry about anything. Instead, tell God about everything. Ask and pray. Give thanks to him. ⁷Then God’s peace will watch over your hearts and your minds because you belong to Christ Jesus. God’s peace can never be completely understood.

⁸Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things. ⁹Do what you have learned or received or heard from me. Follow my example.

The God who gives peace will be with you.

Paul Gives Thanks for Help Received

¹⁰At last you are concerned about me again. That makes me very happy. We belong to the Lord. I know that you have been concerned. But you had no chance to show it.

¹¹I’m not saying that because I need anything. I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me. ¹²I know what it’s like not to have what I need. I also know what it’s like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough or not enough. ¹³I can do everything by the power of Christ. He gives me strength.

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.
