Notes on this text (1)

1 ASÍ que, hermanos míos amados y deseados, gozo y corona mía, estad así firmes en el Señor, amados. 2 A Euodias ruego, y á Syntychê exhorto, que sientan lo mismo en el Señor. 3 Asimismo te ruego también á ti, hermano compañero, ayuda á las que trabajaron juntamente conmigo en el evangelio, con Clemente también, y los demás mis colaboradores, cuyos nombres están en el libro de la vida. 4 Gozaos en el Señor siempre: otra vez digo: Que os gocéis. 5 Vuestra modestia sea conocida de todos los hombres. El Señor está cerca. 6 Por nada estéis afanosos; sino sean notorias vuestras peticiones delante de Dios en toda oración y ruego, con hacimiento de gracias. 7 Y la paz de Dios, que sobrepuja todo entendimiento, guardará vuestros corazones y vuestros entendimientos en Cristo Jesús. 8 Por lo demás, hermanos, todo lo que es verdadero, todo lo honesto, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo que es de buen nombre; si hay virtud alguna, si alguna alabanza, en esto pensad. 9 Lo que aprendisteis y recibisteis y oísteis y visteis en mí, esto haced; y el Dios de paz será con vosotros. 10 Mas en gran manera me gocé en el Señor de que ya al fin ha reflorecido vuestro cuidado de mí; de lo cual aun estabais solícitos, pero os faltaba la oportunidad. 11 No lo digo en razón de indigencia, pues he aprendido á contentarme con lo que tengo. 12 Sé estar humillado, y sé tener abundancia: en todo y por todo estoy enseñado, así para hartura como para hambre, así para tener abundancia como para padecer necesidad. 13 Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece. 14 Sin embargo, bien hicisteis que comunicasteis juntamente á mi tribulación. 15 Y sabéis también vosotros, oh Filipenses, que al principio del evangelio, cuando partí de Macedonia, ninguna iglesia me comunicó en razón de dar y recibir, sino vosotros solos. 16 Porque aun á Tesalónica me enviasteis lo necesario una y dos veces. 17 No porque busque dádivas; mas busco fruto que abunde en vuestra cuenta. 18 Empero todo lo he recibido, y tengo abundancia: estoy lleno, habiendo recibido de Epafrodito lo que enviasteis, olor de suavidad, sacrificio acepto, agradable á Dios. 19 Mi Dios, pues, suplirá todo lo que os falta conforme á sus riquezas en gloria en Cristo Jesús. 20 Al Dios pues y Padre nuestro [sea] gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. 21 Saludad á todos los santos en Cristo Jesús. Los hermanos que están conmigo os saludan. 22 Todos los santos os saludan, y mayormente los que son de casa de César. 23 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros. Amén. Escrita de Roma con Epafrodito.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 4:4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Philippians (Homily XIV)

    "Blessed are they that mourn," and "woe unto them that laugh" (Matt. v. 4; Luke vi. 25.), saith Christ. How then saith Paul, "Rejoice in the Lord alway"? "Woe to them that laugh," said Christ, the laughter of this world which ariseth from the things which are present.

  2. Quotes verse 4:17 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Preface)

    … the Levites shall have no part in the whole tribe of Levi, nor substance with Israel; their substance is the offerings (fructifications) of the Lord: these shall they eat." Wherefore also Paul says, "I do not seek after a gift, but I seek after fruit." To His disciples He said, who had a priesthood of the Lord, to whom it …
