Philippians 4:9 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Ver. 9. And heard, and seen in me] Est aliquid quod ex magno viro vel tacente proficias. The very sight, nay, thought, of a good man often doth good. Whereas the tongue or heart of a wicked man "is little worth,"Proverbs 10:20. If their thoughts and discourses were distilled, they are so frothy they would hardly yield one drop of true comfort.

And the God of peace] "Not only the peace of God," as Philippians 4:7. Austin somewhere fisheth a mystery out of the word pax, peace, which consisteth of three letters, saith he, to note the Trinity, from whom is all true peace. Others have observed that all the letters in Jehovah are quiescent, be at peace, letters to teach the same truth.
