Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
All Commentaries on Philippians 4:1 Go To Philippians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
So. How? Unmoved. See how he adds praise after exhortation, my joy and my crown, not simply joy but glory too, not simply glory but my crown too. Which glory nought can equal, since it is the crown of Paul. So stand fast in the Lord, my beloved, i.e. in the hope of God.
