Whatever you have learned
The word "learned" in Greek is "ἐμάθετε" (emathate), which implies acquiring knowledge through instruction or experience. In the context of Philippians, Paul is emphasizing the importance of the teachings he has imparted to the Philippians. Historically, Paul was a well-educated Pharisee before his conversion, deeply knowledgeable in Jewish law and scripture. His teachings were not only rooted in his understanding of the Old Testament but also in the revelation of Jesus Christ. This phrase encourages believers to hold fast to sound doctrine and the truths of the Gospel as taught by Paul.

or received
The Greek word for "received" is "παρελάβετε" (parelabete), which suggests a transmission of tradition or teaching. In the early church, much of the teaching was oral, passed down from the apostles to the believers. This phrase underscores the importance of apostolic tradition and the faithful transmission of the Gospel message. It highlights the responsibility of the Philippians to not only learn but also to accept and uphold the teachings as they were delivered by Paul.

or heard from me
"Hearing" in this context, from the Greek "ἠκούσατε" (ēkousate), implies more than just auditory reception; it involves understanding and internalizing the message. Paul often spoke of the importance of faith coming through hearing (Romans 10:17). The Philippians had the privilege of hearing the Gospel directly from Paul, an apostle chosen by Christ. This phrase emphasizes the personal nature of Paul's ministry and the direct impact of his spoken word on the early church.

or seen in me
The phrase "seen in me" refers to the Greek "εἴδετε" (eidete), meaning to perceive or witness. Paul is pointing to his own life as an example of living out the teachings of Christ. In a historical context, Paul endured many hardships and persecutions, yet he remained steadfast in his faith. His life was a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel. This phrase challenges believers to not only listen to teachings but to observe and emulate the godly behavior demonstrated by their leaders.

put it into practice
The Greek word "πράσσετε" (prassete) means to perform or execute. Paul is urging the Philippians to actively live out the teachings they have received. This is a call to action, emphasizing that faith must be accompanied by works (James 2:17). The historical context of the early church was one of persecution and challenge, making the practical application of faith essential for the community's survival and witness.

And the God of peace
The phrase "God of peace" is significant, as it reflects the Hebrew concept of "Shalom," which encompasses wholeness, harmony, and well-being. In Greek, "εἰρήνης" (eirēnēs) conveys a similar sense of tranquility and order. Paul assures the Philippians that as they live out their faith, they will experience the presence of God, who brings peace amidst life's trials. This promise is rooted in the scriptural understanding that God is the ultimate source of peace (Isaiah 9:6).

will be with you
The assurance "will be with you" is a powerful promise of God's presence, echoing the covenantal language found throughout Scripture, such as God's promise to be with His people in Exodus 3:12. In Greek, "ἔσται μεθ' ὑμῶν" (estai meth' hymōn) conveys a future certainty. For the Philippians, this was a comforting assurance that as they followed Paul's teachings and example, they would not be alone; God's presence would guide and sustain them. This promise is a cornerstone of Christian faith, offering hope and encouragement to believers throughout the ages.

(9) Ye have both learned, and received.--The reference is here to St. Paul's teaching, which he "delivered" to them (see 1Corinthians 15:1-3; Galatians 1:12) as a message, "received" by revelation of God, and which they "received" accordingly.

Heard, and seen in me.--Here the reference is to his example, as subsidiary to his teaching and confirmatory of its truth.

The God of peace.--The inversion (compared with Philippians 4:7) is striking. To have the "peace of God" with us is much; to have "the God of Peace" Himself with us is more. With this promise the Letter itself ends. What follows is but postscript.

Verse 9. - Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do. St. Paul turns from contemplation to practical life: they must translate into action the lessons which they received from him. The verbs are aorists and refer to the time when he was among them. He taught not by word only, but by living example; they saw in him when present, and heard of him when he was absent, a pattern of the Christian life. And the God of peace shall be with you. God dwells with those who think holy thoughts and live holy lives; and with him comes the peace which is his, which he giveth (comp. Romans 15:33).
