Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:27-30

A. A worthy walk 1:27-30The first sub-section (Philippians 1:27-30) begins with a topic sentence that expresses Paul’s desire for the Philippians. Then he proceeded to explain and to illustrate what constitutes a worthy walk (Philippians 2:1 to Philippians 4:9)."With this section we come to the heart of matters, the primary reason for having written this letter . . . And here in particular the three-way bond that holds the letter together stands out [i.e., Christ, Paul, and the Philippians].... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Philippians 1:27

(27) Let your conversation . . .—The original is here (as in the famous passage, Philippians 3:20), Use your citizenship (that is, of the kingdom of heaven) worthily of the gospel of Christ. The same word is employed by St. Paul in Acts 23:1 (“I have walked in all good conscience before God”), with an obvious reference to his citizenship in the chosen nation of Israel. Its use in this Epistle is suggestive—both as natural to one contemplating the great imperial city, and writing to the people... read more

The Epistle to the Philippians The Saints of God (for All Saints' Eve) Philippians 1:1 To-morrow is the day of All Saints. For quite a thousand years the churches of the West have given the first of November to this great commemoration, illuminating the declining and darkening year with the spiritual splendour of the thought of these exalted multitudes who have outsoared our shadows into the light of God. For it is with the holy ones departed that the festival, beyond a doubt, was primarily... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Philippians 1:27-30

Chapter 5UNDAUNTED AND UNITED STEADFASTNESS.Philippians 1:27-30 (R.V.)AT Philippians 1:27 the letter begins to be hortative. Up to this point the Apostle has been taking the Philippians into his confidence, in order that they may share his point of view and see things as he sees them. Now he begins more directly to call them to the attitude and work which become them as Christians; but up to Philippians 1:30 the sense of the dear tie between him and them is still very present, colouring and... read more

1:27 {8} Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye {o} stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;(8) Having set down those things before in manner of a preface, he descends now to exhortations, warning them first of all to consent both in doctrine and mind, and afterward, that being thus knit together with those common bonds, they continue... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Philippians 1:1-30

Consistently with the character of the epistle, in his addressing the Philippians, Paul does not do so as an apostle, but linking Timothy's name with his own, makes use of the lowlier title, "servants of Jesus Christ." It will be noted that in those epistles in which he writes as an apostle, he makes an authoritative communication of the mind of God, which rightfully requires the obedience of faith. As an apostle he is invested with God-given authority. As a servant, on the other hand,... read more
