The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:27-30

A life of consistency, unity, and courage. "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ," etc. The apostle here means that, whether he should come to them or not—for he was not certain on the point—they should be careful to pursue a certain course of conduct. "By supposing," says Bengel, "this or that future contingency men may persuade themselves that they will be such and such as they ought to be. But it is better always without evasion to perform present duties... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:27-30

Exhortation to unity: I. Love for those who HAVE LABOURED FOR US IN THE GOSPEL . Many can feel this love who are not yet capable of rising to a sense of love towards God. This lower affection may lead to the higher love of which it is a reflection. II. THE DISCOMFITURE OF THOSE WHO ARE HOSTILE TO THE GOSPEL . This need not be opposed to love. The gospel is set for the fail of many as well as for their rising again. It is good for the wicked to be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 1:27

Only let your conversation - The word “conversation” we now apply almost exclusively to oral discourse, or to talking. But it was not formerly confined to that and is never so used in the Scriptures. It means conduct in general - including, of course, our manner of speaking, but not limited to that - and should be so understood in every place where it occurs in the Bible. The original word used here - πολιτεύω politeuō - means properly “to administer the state; to live as a citizen; to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:27-30

1:27-2:30 TEACHING ABOUT HUMILITYThe need for unity and courage (1:27-30)Signs of disunity were appearing in the Philippian church, and Paul seeks to correct the problem before it spreads. The believers must be careful of their conduct, particularly in their relations with one another. It is important that there be complete unity among the believers if the church is to withstand the attacks of the enemy (27).Persecutors get an uneasy feeling of fear when they see the courage of those whom they... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 1:27

Philippians 1:27.— From this verse to ch. Philippians 2:18. St. Paul presses upon the Philippians a perseverance and unanimity in the faith which he had taught them, notwithstanding the opposition that they met with on account of it; and withal, he urges them to be peaceable, and condescending to one another, and ready to perform all mutual good offices. This he inforces by various affecting considerations, and particularly that of the condescension of Christ, and his blessed reward; which he... read more

27. Only—Whatever happens as to my coming to you, or not, make this your one only care.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:27

The first part of this verse gives the main command in the section (Philippians 1:27 to Philippians 4:9) and the reason for it.The phrase "conduct yourselves in a manner worthy" is just one word in the Greek text (politeuesthe). It means literally "to live as a citizen." This word was especially appropriate to use in a letter to people who took great pride in their Roman citizenship (cf. Acts 16:12; Acts 16:20-21). The Philippian Christians, however, were also citizens of a more important... read more
