“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus — eirēnē (peace) from God will 'guard' (phroureō, garrison, watch over) hearts and minds. The peace 'transcends all understanding' (hyperecho pasin tē noei) is incomprehensible by logic: it makes no sense to be peaceful amid threat, yet it is. 'Guard... in Christ Jesus' shows the garrison's location: Christ-union. The promise is concrete: emotional stability protected by divine peace.
