3:1 ασφαλες ¦ το ασφαλες HF PCK
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
3:1 rejoice in the Lord: This theme is resumed in 4:4 (see also 1:18; 2:17-18, 28; 4:10).
• The phrase these things (literally the same things) is ambiguous: it may refer to (1) the immediately preceding encouragement to rejoice in the Lord; (2) the earlier encouragement to follow Christ’s example (2:1-18); (3) Paul’s exhortation in general; or (4) the following warning about threats to their faith.
Christian Joy
In the last hours of his life, Jesus expressed a desire that his disciples “be filled with [his] joy” (see John 15:11; 16:20-24). The subject of joy emerges in a number of Paul’s letters and is a major theme in Philippians. Often when Paul encourages believers to be filled with joy, his words are directed toward those who are experiencing persecution—for example, believers in Philippi and Thessalonica (Phil 3:1; 4:4; 1 Thes 5:16).
Superficial happiness is dependent on circumstances. Christian joy is clearly different; it is rooted in a person’s relationship with the Lord, and it is resilient even in the midst of suffering and death. Joy comes in knowing that whatever happens, God will use everything for our ultimate good (see Rom 5:3-4; 8:28). Believers also have joy from the dynamic presence of God’s Spirit in their hearts (see Gal 5:22). The real secret to a joyful life is in continuously being “filled with the Holy Spirit” (see Eph 5:18). The attitudes of believers are not defined by outward circumstances, but by a relationship with the living God.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀδελφοί
brothers
Paul is using the term brothers here to refer to anyone who is a fellow believer in Jesus. If this is not clear in your language, you could express this plainly. See how you translated this word in Philippians 1:12.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
χαίρετε ἐν Κυρίῳ
/be/_rejoicing in /the/_Lord
The word rejoice is a command or instruction to all of the Philippian Christians. Use the most natural form in your language to give direction to a group of people. Alternate translation: “I exhort each of you to rejoice in the Lord” or “each of you rejoice in the Lord” or “all of you rejoice in the Lord”
ἐν Κυρίῳ
in /the/_Lord
Alternate translation: “in your relationship with the Lord” or “in who the Lord is and what he has done”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑμῖν δὲ ἀσφαλές
˱to˲_you_all ˱for˲_you_all_‹is› on_the_other_hand secure
If it would be helpful in your language, you could state explicitly how writing these things is a safeguard for the Philippians. Alternate translation: “and these teachings will protect you from those who teach what is false”
