Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. - Philippians 4:5
The word “moderation” here has no reference to eating and drinking, though this is certainly important. The word means gentleness, kindness, and consideration. “Let all people (both in the church and out of the church) see and recognize your gentleness, consideration, and kind spirit toward others.”
This is a part of the prescription for peace and contentment in Verses 4-6. (1) Rejoice in the Lord. (2) Be kind and considerate of others. (3) Remember the Lord is at hand. (4) Don't fret and worry over material things. (5) Pray about everything with sincerity and thanksgiving; “and the peace of God which passeth understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
