Philippians Study Notes—Chapter 4

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 4:1
  
  the Lord: In this context, the title “Lord” (without the definite article before the Greek word for “Lord”) could refer either to Jehovah God or to Jesus Christ. However, a number of translations of the Christian Greek Scriptures into Hebrew and other languages use the divine name here, which may favor the understanding that this refers to Jehovah.—Compare study note on Php 4:4.
