ピリピ人への手紙 1:16-17 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:12-20

The gospel promoted by persecution. Paul, having stated the substance of his intercession for the Philippian saints, proceeds to show how his apparently unfortunate imprisonment was being providentially overruled for what they had so much at heart, the furtherance of the gospel. It is most instructive to notice how his great heart transmutes adversity into gold, and sees encouragement where others would glean only despair. I. AS A NOTABLE PRISONER , PAUL WAS DRAWING THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:12-30

Thoughts suggested by his captivity. I. PROGRESS OF THE GOSPEL IN ROME . 1 . Generally. "Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel." It might have been expected that his imprisonment, which is principally referred to, would have fallen out to the hindrance of the gospel. But Paul would have his Philippian brethren know, for their comfort and confirmation, that, though to some extent... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:15-18

A significant difference among the apostle's brethren. They were all actively engaged in preaching the gospel, but they were not actuated by the same motives. I. THE DIFFERENT SPIRIT OF THE TWO CLASSES OF PREACHERS . "Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will." The one class were actuated by a genuine good will to Christ and his apostle. The other class were actuated by envy and discord. They envied the popularity of the apostle... read more

The spirit of faction. I. WHAT IT IS . Like nearly all human errors, it has its origin in a good trait in our nature which has become corrupted by the introduction of evil motives. It springs from the desire men have to act in common. The Christian development of this desire is the communion of saints. The ideal of redeemed mankind is that it is the body of Christ, which is not a fortuitous concourse of atoms, but a living organism, each part necessary to the whole. Faction corrupts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:16-17

These two verses must change places according to the reading of the best manuscripts. The clauses are inverted by the figure chiasmus. But the other of love ; read, as R.V., the one do it of love. This is better than the other possible rendering, "those who are of love do it. " Knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel . κεῖμαι . I am set or appointed, as in 1 Thessalonians 2:3 ; not, as some understand, I lie in prison. They preach Christ out of love—love for Christ,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 1:16

The one preach Christ of contention - So as to form parties, and to produce strifes among his professed followers.Not sincerely - Not “purely” - ἁγνῶς hagnōs - not with pure motives or intentions. Their real aim is not to preach Christ, but to produce difficulty, and to stir up strife. They are ambitious people, and they have no real regard for the welfare of the church and the honor of religion.Supposing to add affliction to my bonds - To make my trial the greater. How they did this is... read more

But the other of love - From pure motives, and from sincere affection to me.Knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel - They believe that I am an ambassador from God. They regard me as unjustly imprisoned, and while I am disabled, they are willing to aid me in the great cause to which my life is devoted. To alleviate his sorrows, and to carry forward the great cause to defend which he was particularly appointed, they engaged in the work which he could not now do, and went forth to... read more

Philippians 1:15-17. Some indeed preach Christ even of envy Envying my success, or envying me that esteem and reputation which I have in the church, and seeking to gain it to themselves; and strife Striving to draw people off from approving me to applaud themselves, and being desirous to maintain in the church a party that shall oppose me, and willing to add as many abetters to it as they possibly can. It is probable, as Whitby and many others have observed, that “these were the Judaizing... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:12-26

Results of Paul’s imprisonment (1:12-26)Some of the Philippians were becoming down-hearted because Paul had been imprisoned so long. He tries to encourage them with the news that through his imprisonment he has been able to tell the good news of Jesus Christ to many people whom he could not reach otherwise. Among these were people such as Roman guards and government officials. His fearless example has encouraged the local Christians to evangelize more boldly (12-14).Unfortunately, the local... read more
