Philippians 4 is the fourth (and the last) chapter of the Epistle to the Philippians in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It is authored by Paul the Apostle and Saint Timothy.
This chapter can be grouped (with cross references to other parts of the Bible):
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.
