Answer: the Lord
It says in Philippians 4:1, "Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved."
To stand fast means that, even when times are tough you do not give up. In fact, to Christians, tough times are the best times to stand fast in the Lord.

Answer: whatever state he is in
It says in Philippians 4:11, "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."
Not all of us are going to be wealthy and we are all going to have obstacles we face, but Paul tells people they should be content, no matter what their circumstances are. That is, money (for example) should not dictate happiness.

Answer: Rejoice
The word "rejoice" occurs eight times in Philippians and "joy" six. This is hugely disproportionate compared to other New Testament epistles, even before taking into account the short length of the book. Paul begins in the opening chapter by stating that he rejoices even when Christ is being preached for the wrong reasons (Philippians 1 v. 18), and also rejoices in his imprisonment because he knows that good will come from it (Philippians 1 v. 19). Clearly Paul is conscious of his repeated appeal, because he twice uses the word "again" - here and at the beginning of chapter 3.

From Quiz: Paul's Letter to the Philippians
Answer: true, honest, just, pure
Philippians 4:8 (KJV) states, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Paul is telling the church at Philippi that there are a lot of bad things in the world. So what they need to do is focus on the good things, and fill their minds with that stuff not all the negative stuff, because there is plenty of negative stuff out there already, and it's going to get to them. Paul is trying to prepare them to face a world that is difficult, often filled with negativity and hard. I believe these words apply today, and the world is still difficult, often filled with troublesome, arduous, and cynical things that life throws at us.
