Philippians 46

Philippians 4:6 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, found in the Epistle to the Philippians, which is attributed to the Apostle Paul. The verse reads: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." This passage is often interpreted as an encouragement to Christians to replace anxiety with prayer and gratitude. The original Greek text is: "Μηδὲν ἀλλὸ καὶ τὸ ἀνησυχεῖν· ἐν παντὶ δὲ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ δεήσει μετὰ τῆς εὐχαριστίας τὰ αἰτήματά ὑμῶν ἐν φανερῷ ποιεῖσθε πρὸς τὸν Θεόν." In Hebrew, it can be translated as: "אל תדאגו לדבר, אלא בכל דבר, בתפילה ובבקשה, עם תודה, הגישו את בקשותיכם אל אלוהים." The verse is part of a larger section (Philippians 4:4-9) where Paul offers practical advice on finding joy and peace in Christ. The context suggests that the Philippians were facing challenges, and Paul's letter aims to uplift and guide them through these difficulties. This verse is widely quoted and often used in Christian teachings on overcoming anxiety and cultivating a prayerful life.
