Christian Practices

4:1 So then, my brothers and sisters, ¹  dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!

Philippians 4:17

4:17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift. ²  Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.

¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
