Philippians 4:1

Christian Practices

4:1 So then, my brothers and sisters, ³  dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!

[3:15]  ¹ tn Grk “those of us who are ‘perfect’ should think this,” or possibly “those of us who are mature should think this.”

[3:15]  ² tn Grk “reveal this to you.” The referent of the pronoun “this” is the fact that the person is thinking differently than Paul does. This has been specified in the translation with the phrase “the error of your ways”; Paul is stating that God will make it known to these believers when they are not in agreement with Paul.

[4:1]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
