Greek Commentary for Philippians 4:6
Present imperative in prohibition, “stop being anxious.” See μη μεριμνατε mē merimnāte in Matthew 6:31. [source]
In all the forms of prayer here named thanksgiving should appear. [source]
See on Matthew 6:25. Rev., better, be anxious. [source]
General and special. See on Luke 5:33; see on Luke 8:38. Προσευχή prayeronly of prayer to God. The two words often occur together, as Ephesians 6:18; 1 Timothy 2:1; 1 Timothy 5:5. [source]
Specific details of supplication. [source]
The force of πρός is rather in your intercourse with God. See on with God, John 1:1. [source]
