A.T. Robertson Commentary
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:7 (ASV)
The peace of God (η ειρηνη του θεου). See in 2 Thessalonians 3:16 "the Lord of peace" (ο Κυριος της ειρηνης) and verse 9 for "the God of peace" (ο θεος της ειρηνης).
Shall guard (φρουρησε). "Shall garrison," future active indicative of φρουρεω, old verb from φρουρος (προ-οροσ, προοραω, to see before, to look out). See Ac 9:24; 2 Corinthians 11:32. God's peace as a sentinel mounts guard over our lives as Tennyson so beautifully pictures Love as doing.
