Christly love. "Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me." There are different kinds of love. Christly love is love in the highest form, the love which is the inspiration of all human activities, approved of God, and spiritually useful to man.

The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 2:17-18

He sees "the soul of good in things evil," and even in the notions of corrupt human imaginations a distorted reflection of truth.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:12-18

Putting belief into practice (2:12-18)In view of Christ’s example, the Philippians must remove all trace of pride and quarrelling, and show in their lives the nature of the salvation that God has given them. They must obey God’s will as Christ did, and they will be able to do this because God works within them (12-13). They will then be like lights shining in darkness. They will be people of blameless conduct who take God’s message to a spiritually and morally corrupt world. In this way they... read more
