ピリピ人への手紙 2:19 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 2:19-30

Two characters, representing two aspects of Christian work. I. TIMOTHY , A MAN OF SYMPATHY . The secret of true sympathy is to be seeking for the things of Jesus Christ. He who seeks for these feels, as his Master feels, for all human sorrows. Such a one is thoroughly "like-minded," and is delivered from the selfishness which cares for nothing but self. None can work for Christ except they are possessed of this sympathy. II. EPAPHRODITUS , A MAN OF ACTIVE MINISTRY ,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 2:19

But I trust in the Lord Jesus - His hope was that the Lord Jesus would so order affairs as to permit this - an expression that no man could use who did not regard the Lord Jesus as on the throne, and as more that human.To send Timotheus shortly unto you - There was a special reason why Paul desired to send Timothy to them rather than any other person, which he himself states, Philippians 2:22. “Ye know the proof of him, that as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.” From... read more

Philippians 2:19-21. But I trust in the Lord, &c. Though I should not be surprised if my work and testimony as an apostle should end in martyrdom, yet I do not immediately expect such an event, but trust that the Lord will effect such a deliverance for me, as that, not needing Timotheus so much here, I may be able to send him shortly to you, that, whatever my condition may be here, I also, or I yet, may be of good comfort, may be refreshed, when I know from him your state ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:19-30

Timothy and Epaphroditus (2:19-30)For an example of self-denying humility and service, Paul refers them to Timothy. They will have a chance to meet Timothy again soon, as Paul is sending him to Philippi to help the church through its problems. Paul trusts that Timothy will return to him with the good news that the Philippians are united in love once again (19-20). Most people are too concerned with looking after themselves to stop and think how they can help others, but Timothy gives himself... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 2:19

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort when I know your state.In the two preceding verses, Paul contemplated his own martyrdom as a realistic possibility; but here the mood changed to one of hope and confidence, for his being able to send Timothy would mean that his state had improved enough to make this possible. It is therefore impossible to make Paul's statements about his prospects the basis of dating the epistle. Like any person in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:19

Philippians 2:19.— St. Paul, having declared his readiness to lay down his life to serve the Philippians, (amongthe other Gentile churches which were in the like circumstances) seems to have apprehended how tenderly they would take his mentioning such a thing to them; and therefore, to prevent their being overmuch concerned, he here tells them, that however willing he was to die for them, yet he did not expect to do so presently; that he rather thought he should escape now, and in a little time... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Philippians 2:19

19. :-, "ye know the proof of him . . . that . . . he hath served with me," implies that Timothy had been long with Paul at Philippi; Accordingly, in the history (Acts 16:1-4; Acts 17:10; Acts 17:14), we find them setting out together from Derbe in Lycaonia, and together again at Berea in Macedonia, near the conclusion of Paul's missionary journey: an undesigned coincidence between the Epistle and history, a mark of genuineness [PALEY]. From Philippians 2:19-30, it appears Epaphroditus was to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 2:19

Paul explained that his plan was subject to the will of God when he said that he hoped "in the Lord Jesus" to send Timothy shortly. The apostle alluded to his submission to the lordship of Christ frequently in this epistle (Philippians 1:8; Philippians 1:26; Philippians 2:24; Philippians 2:29; Philippians 3:1; Philippians 3:3; Philippians 4:1; Philippians 4:10; cf. Romans 14:14; 1 Corinthians 7:39; 1 Corinthians 16:7; Philemon 1:20; Philemon 1:25). These references were probably especially... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 2:19-24

The example of Timothy 2:19-24The apostle’s reference to his present sufferings (Philippians 2:17-18) led him to tell the Philippians about his plans. He wanted to send Timothy and Epaphroditus to Philippi. He said things about those two faithful fellow workers that would assure their warm reception when they arrived. Paul’s descriptions of them have lasting value because they were such good examples of men who possessed the mind of Christ. They were, therefore, true partners in the gospel."In... read more
