Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Philippians 2:2

2. Fulfil—that is, Make full. I have joy in you, complete it by that which is still wanting, namely, unity (Philippians 1:9). likeminded—literally, "that ye be of the same mind"; more general than the following "of one mind." having the same love—equally disposed to love and be loved. being of one accord—literally, "with united souls." This pairs with the following clause, thus, "With united souls, being of one mind"; as the former two also pair together, "That ye be likeminded, having the same... read more

3. Let nothing be done —The italicized words are not in the Greek. Perhaps the ellipsis had better be supplied from the Greek (Philippians 2:2), "Thinking nothing in the way of strife" (or rather, "factious intrigue," "self-seeking," see on Philippians 2:2- :). It is the thought which characterizes the action as good or bad before God. lowliness of mind—The direct relation of this grace is to God alone; it is the sense of dependence of the creature on the Creator as such, and it places all... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 2:1

The apostle introduced his comments on submissiveness by giving his readers four incentives. He stated each one in a conditional clause that he introduced with the word "if." He assumed each one to be true for the sake of his argument (a first class condition in Greek). The translators have supplied the verb that Paul did not state. The NASB has "there is," but the NIV gives a better sense of Paul’s meaning with "you have." We could read each of the four clauses, "Since you have . . ."The first... read more

The foundation for unity 2:1-4Paul advocated humility, namely, concern for the needs of others, not just one’s own needs, as the basis for unity in the church (cf. Philippians 1:22-26; Philippians 2:21).". . . someone well said: ’Love begins when someone else’s needs are more important than my own,’ which is precisely what Paul will urge in the elaboration that follows."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 2:2

Paul stated his exhortation to submissiveness in the first part of this verse and then elaborated on it. The apostle wanted his readers to be one in their attitude and purpose so they could fulfill God’s purpose for them individually and as a church. To accomplish this they would need to be humble and submissive in these areas of their lives. The result would be that Paul’s joy because of this congregation, which was already great, would become complete.Four participial phrases elaborate on... read more

Third, they should view other people as more important than themselves (cf. Philippians 1:17)."This is the linchpin that guarantees the success of the Christian community." [Note: Hawthorne, p. 69.] The popular idea that we should put ourselves first goes all the way back to the Fall. Unsaved people in Paul’s day did not view humility as a virtue any more than most people today do. [Note: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, s.v. "tareinos [lowly]," et al., by Walter Grundmann, 8... read more

The Mutual Service of Paul and Philippian Church§ 7. Philippians 2:1-11, In view of what has just been said, therefore the Apostle entreats his readers, under all the obligations arising from past fellowship (Philippians 2:1), to make his joy complete by a thorough concord (Philippians 2:2). This will be attained through self-effacing regard for each other (Philippians 2:3-4), of which Christ is the ground and example (Philippians 2:5-8).1. St. Paul invokes four bonds of friendship: exhortation... read more
