Philippians 4:6
_ _ Translate, “Be anxious about nothing.” Care and prayer are as mutually opposed as fire and water [Bengel].
_ _ by prayer and supplication — Greek, “by the prayer and the supplication” appropriate to each case [Alford]. Prayer for blessings; and the general term. Supplication, to avert ills; a special term, suppliant entreaty (see on Ephesians 6:18).
_ _ thanksgiving — for every event, prosperity and affliction alike (1 Thessalonians 5:18; James 5:13). The Philippians might remember Paul’s example at Philippi when in the innermost prison (Acts 16:25). Thanksgiving gives effect to prayer (2 Chronicles 20:21), and frees from anxious carefulness by making all God’s dealings matter for praise, not merely for resignation, much less murmuring. “Peace” is the companion of “thanksgiving” (Philippians 4:7; Colossians 3:15).
_ _ let your requests be made known unto God — with generous, filial, unreserved confidence; not keeping aught back, as too great, or else too small, to bring before God, though you might feel so as to your fellow men. So Jacob, when fearing Esau (Genesis 32:9-12); Hezekiah fearing Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:14; Psalms 37:5). |
Philippians 4:6
Be anxiously careful for nothing — If men are not gentle towards you, yet neither on this, nor any other account, be careful, but pray. Carefulness and prayer cannot stand together. In every thing — Great and small. Let your requests be made known — They who by a preposterous shame or distrustful modesty, cover, stifle, or keep in their desires, as if they were either too small or too great, must be racked with care; from which they are entirely delivered, who pour them out with a free and filial confidence. To God — It is not always proper to disclose them to men. By supplication — Which is the enlarging upon and pressing our petition. With thanksgiving — The surest mark of a soul free from care, and of prayer joined with true resignation. This is always followed by peace. Peace and thanksgiving are both coupled together, Colossians 3:15. |
Philippians 4:6
(6) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with (f) thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
(6) The third is, that we are not too anxious for anything, but with sure confidence give God thanks, and desire from him whatever we have need of, that with a quiet conscience we may wholly and with all our hearts submit ourselves to him.
(f) So David began very often with tears, but ended with thanksgiving. |
