Philippians 4:9

“These things which ye have both learned, etc.] Meaning from himself, in a doctrinal way: and received; not only into their heads but hearts, had embraced cordially, with great affection, in the love thereof, as well as given a full assent to: and heard; either publicly or privately, from the pulpit, or in conversation; or had heard of him when absent, or from him when present: and seen in me: in his life and conversation, which were well known, and were a pattern to them that believe; and therefore he adds, do; practise the same things which they had learned from him as their duty, and had heard him urge as such, and had seen exemplified in himself: and the God of peace shall be with you; to…”

“both--rather, "The things also which ye have learned . . . these practice"; the things which besides recommending them in words, have been also recommended by my example, carry into practice. heard--though ye have not yet sufficiently "received" them. seen--though ye have not as yet sufficiently "learned" them [BENGEL]. and--"and then," as the necessary result (Phi 4:7). Not only "the peace of God," but "the God of peace" Himself "shall be with you."”

“Those things which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do - That is, what you have witnessed in me, and what you have learned of me, and what you have heard about me, practice yourselves. Paul refers them to his uniform conduct - to all that they had seen, and known, and heard of him, as that which it was proper for them to imitate. The same thing, substantially, he urges in Philippians 3:17; see the notes at that verse. It could have been only the consciousness of a pure and upright life which would make such counsel proper. How few are the people at this day who can urge others to imitate all that they have seen in them, and learned from them, and heard of them.…”

“The things which ye have learned - As catechumens. And received - By continual instructions. And heard and seen - In my life and conversation. These do, and the God of peace shall be with you - Not only the peace of God, but God himself, the fountain of peace. Philippians 4:10”
