腓立比书 1:25-26 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:21-26

Life here and hereafter. The brave apostle, awaiting the slow issue of his case at Rome, has been speaking of the good effect of his imprisonment upon the promulgation of the gospel. He can see the good beneath the apparent evil. And now he speaks of the life he lives on earth and of the other life beyond the shadow of death. Let us notice the lessons as they are set before us here. I. PAUL 'S SELF - ABANDONMENT TO CHRIST . ( Philippians 1:21 .) He surrendered himself in a... read more

Self-love and social love. "But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I wot not," etc. Dr. Samuel Davidson's rendering of this passage, which is as follows, is evidently an improvement on our own version: "But if to live in the flesh this is some fruit of work; and what I shall choose I know not. But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire towards departing and being with Christ, for it is very far better: but to abide in the flesh is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:25

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all . Being persuaded of this, that my life is needful for you; or, as others render, "And this I certainly, confidently know." The first translation seems preferable, for St. Paul's assurance does not seem to rest on direct inspiration, but on a calculation of probabilities. The apostles could not always foresee their own future ( Acts 20:22 ). Bishop Lightfoot says, "The same word οἶδα is used Acts 20:25 ... read more

The apostle's personal conviction as to his future course. He might be uncertain as to which he should choose, but he was fully confident as to what would befall him. Notice— I. THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CONTINUANCE WITH HIS CONVERTS . "And being confidently persuaded of this [that his life would be for their spiritual advantage] I know that I shall abide, and abide with you all." His knowledge was not necessarily derived from special revelation or from mere presentiment,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:26

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again . Glorying or boasting ( καύχημα ), not rejoicing. Perhaps rather, as Meyer," That the matter in which you have to glory [ i.e. the bliss in which you rejoice as Christians] may increase abundantly in Christ Jesus [as the element or sphere of the glorying] in me [as the instrument or cause]." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 1:25

And having this confidence - “Being persuaded of this, that my continuance on earth is desirable for your welfare, and that the Lord has a work for me to do, I confidently expect that I shall be permitted to live.” The “confidence” here referred to was, that his life was needful for them, and hence that God would spare him. A literal translation would be, “And being persuaded as to this, or of this” - τοῦτο πεποιθὼς touto pepoithōs - “I know,” etc. The foundation of his expectation that he... read more

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ - Through the mercy and grace of Christ, If he was spared, his deliverance would be traced to Christ, and they would rejoice together in one who had so mercifully delivered him.For me by my coming to you again - Their joy would not only be that he was delivered, but that he was permitted to see them again. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Philippians 1:24-26

Philippians 1:24-26. Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh In the body; is more needful for you And the rest who have embraced the gospel. For, as he said to the elders of the church at Ephesus, he foresaw that after his departure grievous wolves should enter into the churches, not sparing the flock, Acts 20:29. This is the other particular between which, and departing to be with Christ, the apostle’s mind was divided, as mentioned Philippians 1:22. For the sake of the churches, however,... 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
