Philippians 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 4:9

These things which ye have both learned
Meaning from himself, in a doctrinal way: and received;
not only into their heads but hearts, had embraced cordially, with great affection, in the love thereof, as well as given a full assent to: and heard;
either publicly or privately, from the pulpit, or in conversation; or had heard of him when absent, or from him when present: and seen in me:
in his life and conversation, which were well known, and were a pattern to them that believe; and therefore he adds, do;
practise the same things which they had learned from him as their duty, and had heard him urge as such, and had seen exemplified in himself: and the God of peace shall be with you;
to give that peace which is beyond the conception of a natural man, and the expression of a spiritual one, and is the great preservative through Christ; and to enable to do and to continue to do the above things, and to keep them from all harm, and every enemy of their souls; to favour them with his gracious presence here, and with endless peace hereafter.

Philippians 4:9 In-Context

7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

11 I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
