Philippians 4:4

Be Anxious For Nothing

³ Yes, and I am asking you also, [my] faithful partner [Note: This person is unknown, but may have been one of Paul's preacher companions], help those women, for they have worked hard with me in [spreading] the Gospel, along with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life. [See Rev. 3:5; Heb. 12:23]. ⁴ Rejoice in [fellowship with] the Lord all the time. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ You should let your gentleness be known to all people. The Lord is near. [Note: This "nearness" could refer to Christ's second coming or to His nearness to His people in a spiritual sense].

Lord Be with You

Rejoice in the Lord
