On Philippians

20 of 64
  1. Philippians 4:9
    Then he points to the blessing, as he has before: Do this and “the God of peace will be with you.” This is what the Philippians needed most, that there should be no discord, that all should think as one. Thus there will be peace in their church. The God of peace, who is the Father, with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, will impart peace to every soul that is intimate with God.

  2. Philippians 4:17
    “I am not in want,” Paul says, “nor do I ask for these things out of my own need. But you ought to practice benevolence simply in order that your abundance of benevolence may be for me the fruit of your good deeds.… When I either ask God on your behalf or give him thanks on your account, there is fruit for me in my prayer on your account, so long as I know that you are abounding in benevolence.”

  3. Philippians 4:22
    Many apparently have believed even from Caesar’s household. These are people who would otherwise have walked proudly and thought of nothing but Caesar. The power of the gospel has been revealed to these people. Many others who have believed are humble people. He equally greets them all, humbly and affably, wherever they are. The word “especially” in relation to “those of Caesar’s household” makes it apparent that they are taking pains to be pleasing in service.

  4. Philippians 4:23
    He knew that the Philippians, unlike those addressed in his other letters, held to correct teaching. They had not been seduced by false apostles. He is here writing only a short letter of exhortation. He prays that “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.” For if the Spirit dwells within them, they will respond rightly.
