Philippians 4:1

Christian Practices

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


tn Grk “I have sent him to you with earnestness.” But the epistolary aorist needs to be translated as a present tense with this adverb due to English stylistic considerations.

tn Or “when you see him you can rejoice again.”

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