4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! 5 Let everyone see your gentleness.[a] The Lord is near! 6 Do not be anxious about anything.

- Philippians 4:5 tn Grk “let your gentleness be seen by all.” The passive voice construction has been converted to active voice in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- Philippians 4:7 tn Grk “will guard the hearts of you and the minds of you.” To improve the English style, the second occurrence of ὑμῶν (humōn, “of you”) has not been translated, since it is somewhat redundant in English.
