腓立比书 1:5 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 1:5

For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now ; rather, as R.V., for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel. This verse should be taken in connection with Philippians 1:3 . St. Paul thanks God for their help, their co-operation towards the work of the gospel. They helped forward the work by their prayers, their labors, and their liberal bounty. This fellowship began "in the beginning of the gospel," when the Philippians sent aid to the apostle at Thessalonica and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 1:5

For your fellowship in the gospel - “For your liberality toward me, a preacher of the gospel.” - Wetstein. There has been, however, no little difference of opinion about the meaning of this phrase. Many - as Doddridge, Koppe, and others - suppose it refers to the fact that they participated in the blessings of the gospel from the first day that he preached it until the time when he wrote this Epistle. Others suppose that it refers to their constancy in the Christian faith. Others - as Pierce,... read more

Philippians 1:3-8. I thank my God upon every remembrance Or mention, as μνεια equally signifies; of you Whether before the throne of grace, or when conversing with my fellow-Christians. The clause may also be rendered, I thank my God for all your kind remembrance of me, namely, (as he partly at least means,) with respect to the supplies they had sent him. Always in every prayer of mine He never failed, it seems, to pray for the churches when he prayed for himself; making request ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:1-11

1:1-26 PAUL’S EXPERIENCES DURING IMPRISONMENTA prayer for the Philippians (1:1-11)In greeting the church, Paul mentions in particular the church leaders, as these had probably been responsible for arranging the collection of gifts sent to him (1:1-2). He is thankful not only for the present gift, but for the many gifts they have sent him, from his first visit to their city to his current imprisonment. Through their prayers and gifts they have been true partners with him in spreading the gospel... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 1:5

Philippians 1:5. For your fellowship, &c.— Your participation in the gospel: so Doddridge, and also Heylin, who observes that the meaning is, "the part you have in the gospel;—obeying its precepts, and profiting by the graces which accompany it." See 1 Corinthians 1:9. 2 Corinthians 8:4; 2 Corinthians 13:13. read more

5. Ground of his "thanking God" (Philippians 1:3): "For your (continued) fellowship (that is, real spiritual participation) in (literally, 'in regard to') the Gospel from the first day (of your becoming partakers in it) until now." Believers have the fellowship of the Son of God (Philippians 1:3- :) and of the Father (1 John 1:3) in the Gospel, by becoming partakers of "the fellowship of the Holy Ghost" (2 Corinthians 13:14), and exercise that fellowship by acts of communion, not only the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:3-8

A. Thanksgiving 1:3-8The apostle proceeded to express his sincere gratitude to God for his friends in Philippi. He did this to assure them of God’s continuing working for them and his satisfaction with their partnership in the work of the gospel. In this section Paul introduced and summarized the main theme of Philippians, namely, partnership in the gospel. He stated it explicitly in Philippians 1:5 and developed it later in the body of the epistle (Philippians 1:27 to Philippians 4:9). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:5

The reason Paul was always joyful as he prayed for the Philippians was their participation (NASB) or partnership (NIV, lit. fellowship, Gr. koinonia) in the gospel."It does not take much reading of Paul’s letters to recognize that the gospel is the singular passion of his life; that passion is the glue that in particular holds this letter together. By ’the gospel,’ especially in Philippians, Paul refers primarily neither to a body of teaching nor to proclamation. Above all, the gospel has to do... read more
