Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Philippians 1:1-2

Philippians 1:1-2. Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ St. Paul, writing familiarly to the Philippians, does not style himself an apostle. And under the common title of servants, he tenderly and modestly joins with himself his son Timothy, who had attended him in his general travels in those parts, had come with him to Philippi, not long after the apostle had received him, (Acts 16:3; Acts 16:12,) and had doubtless assisted him in preaching the gospel there. To all the saints The... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 1:1

PAUL'S LETTER TO THE PHILIPPIANSPHIL. 1This marvelous epistle begins, as Paul usually begins, with a salutation followed by thanksgiving and supplication upon behalf of the readers. The first chapter also records Paul's remarkable soliloquy. As pointed out in the Introduction, it is useless to divide this letter in the pattern of a classical outline. Philippians is not an essay or treatise of any kind but a personal letter to beloved friends; and it runs along in the same somewhat rambling... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 1:2

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Frequent comments on this characteristic Pauline greeting have been made in this series of commentaries. For example, see my Commentary on Romans 1:1 and my Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:2. Scholars are inclined to make a big thing out of the order of "grace" and "peace" as they appear in most of Paul's greetings. As Boice said, "The final point is this: grace comes before peace .... In God's order of things God's hand is... read more

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

Philippians 1:1. Paul and Timotheus,— This and the following verse contain the inscription, or introduction of this Epistle. St. Paul might choose to join Timothy with him, as he not only had attended the Apostle in his general travels into these parts, but had assisted in preaching the gospel at Philippi. Comp. Acts 16:1; Acts 16:3; Acts 16:12. Some have inquired why St. Paul does not stile himself an Apostle here, and in his two Epistles to the Thessalonians, and in that to Philemon, as he... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Philippians 1:1

1. Timotheus—mentioned as being well known to the Philippians (Acts 16:3; Acts 16:10-12), and now present with Paul. Not that Timothy had any share in writing the Epistle; for Paul presently uses the first person singular, "I," not "we" (Philippians 1:3). The mention of his name implies merely that Timothy joined in affectionate remembrances to them. servants of Jesus Christ—The oldest manuscripts read the order, "Christ Jesus." Paul does not call himself "an apostle," as in the inscriptions of... read more

2. Grace . . . peace—The very form of this salutation implies the union of Jew, Greek, and Roman. The Greek salutation was "joy" (chairein), akin to the Greek for "grace" (charis). The Roman was "health," the intermediate term between grace and peace. The Hebrew was "peace," including both temporal and spiritual prosperity. Grace must come first if we are to have true peace. from . . . from—Omit the second "from": as in the Greek, "God our Father" and "the Lord Jesus Christ," are most closely... read more

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

Timothy was an associate of Paul’s and may have served as his secretary as Paul dictated this letter (cf. 2 Thessalonians 3:17), but Timothy was not the co-author of it (cf. Philippians 1:3; Philippians 2:19-23). The Philippians knew him since he had been with Paul when Paul had founded the church in Philippi (Acts 16:1-12) and on subsequent occasions (Acts 19:22; Acts 20:3-6). Now Timothy was with Paul in Rome during Paul’s house arrest there.Paul’s lack of reference to his apostleship is in... read more
