philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

< Philippians 4:5
Philippians 4:7 >

      7. And--The inseparable consequence of thus laying everything before God in "prayer with thanksgiving."
      peace--the dispeller of "anxious care" (Php 4:6).
      of God--coming from God, and resting in God (Joh 14:27; 16:33; Col 3:15).
      passeth--surpasseth, or exceedeth, all man's notional powers of understanding its full blessedness (1Co 2:9, 10; Eph 3:20; compare Pr 3:17).
      shall keep--rather, "shall guard"; shall keep as a well-garrisoned stronghold (Isa 26:1, 3). The same Greek verb is used in 1Pe 1:5. There shall be peace secure within, whatever outward troubles may besiege.
      hearts and minds--rather, "hearts (the seat of the thoughts) and thoughts" or purposes.
      through--rather as Greek, "in Christ Jesus." It is in Christ that we are "kept" or "guarded" secure.
