Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:12

This verse is a topic sentence for all that follows through Philippians 1:26. Whenever Paul wrote, "I want you to know," he introduced something important (cf. 2 Corinthians 13:6; 2 Timothy 3:1).His readers could very understandably have concluded that Paul’s imprisonment had brought the building of the church of Jesus Christ to a standstill, or at least slowed its progress significantly.

C. Progress report 1:12-26Paul proceeded from his introductory comments to explain his personal circumstances because these were of interest to his readers and profitable for them to understand. In relating them the apostle revealed a spiritual viewpoint that is a model for all believers for all time. This "biographical prologue" [Note: Swift, p. 241.] illustrates how the principles for effective partnership in the gospel that Paul introduced in Philippians 1:3-11 were working out for the... read more

(12) The things which happened unto me—viz., since he parted from them (see Acts 20:6)—his arrest at Jerusalem, and the long captivity of years, first at Cæsarea, then at Rome.

For it is with the holy ones departed that the festival, beyond a doubt, was primarily... read more
