This exposition is a review of the last two chapters of Philippians. Each chapter is split into smaller passages with the main ideas and implications summarized for each passage.

This exposition is a review of the first two chapters of Philippians. Each chapter is split into smaller passages with the main ideas and implications summarized for each passage.

Paul continues to give attention to the Philippians' generosity in these verses (4:10-20) and points out: 1) their uniqueness (in supporting him), 2) their reward (from God) and 3) God's provision (to meet their needs). Paul then concludes his letter with final words of greeting and one last prayer (4:21-23).

After the sundry items (4:1-9), Paul gives attention to one final topic: the gift from the Philippians. In these verses, he shares his perspective regarding material provision: 1) his joy, 2) his contentment, and 3) their partnership.

In this section, Paul adds two more exhortations to the first three in 4:1-5. These are: 1) anxiety and peace, and 2) thought-life and practice.

A heavenly mindset is the way to stand firm in the Lord (4:1). This is how Paul wraps up the previous section. If anyone desires to have a greater stability in the Lord, he must turn his gaze upward! Paul then adds instructions regarding sundry items. The first three are: 1) harmony, 2) joy, and 3) gentleness.

Previously, Paul alluded to his own pursuit of Christ-likeness. Now he very directly calls the church to follow his example and that of others who live the same way. We are to imitate and keep our eyes on such examples. He gives us two reasons why: 1) many live for this world (their influence can drag us down!), and 2) our citizenship is in heaven (our hope is there, not on earth!).
