Philippians 4: I have learned the secret

Read Philippians 4:1-23 before you meet.

In a few lines

Philippians greets its readers with grace and ends with grace (1:2, 4:23). Near its close it says, "I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it" (4:11), and behind learned the secret in the next verse (4:12) is a Greek verb the New Testament has nowhere else.

The verse to carry

“Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!””
