The Pulpit Commentary - Philippians 4:19

A full supply. The Philippians had "sent once and again unto" St. Paul's need (Verse 16). In return the apostle assures them that the recompense which is beyond his power will be made for him by his God, who will supply all their need. We are most enriched when we most sacrifice ourselves ( Proverbs 11:24 ). What we give to the work of Christ we shall receive back with far more than the worth of our offerings. I, WE ALL HAVE GREAT NEEDS THAT ONLY GOD CAN FULFIL .... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philippians 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need - That is, “You have shown your regard for me as a friend of God, by sending to me in my distress, and I have confidence that, in return for all this, God will supply all your needs, when you are in circumstances of necessity.” Paul’s confidence in this seems not to have been founded on any express revelation; but on the general principle that God would regard their offering with favor. Nothing is lost, even in the present life, by doing good. In thousands... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Philippians 4:15-19

Philippians 4:15-19. Ye know that in the beginning of the gospel When it was first preached at Philippi; no church No Christian society, as such; communicated with me In the matter of giving me money, and of my receiving money from them; but ye only I received money from no church but yours. Not because I desire a gift, &c. I would not have you think that I commend your liberality merely out of respect to myself; but I desire fruit, &c. I do it chiefly out of respect... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 4:10-23

Thanks for the Philippians’ gifts (4:10-23)The Philippians thought constantly of Paul’s needs, but were not able to send anything to him in his imprisonment until now. Paul’s joy at receiving this gift is not because he has a greedy desire for money, because he has long ago learnt to be satisfied with whatever he has. His contentment comes not through money or possessions, but through the assurance that Christ enables him to meet every situation (10-13).Paul repeats that his pleasure is not... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 4:19

And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.Hendriksen made a distinction between God's general providence over all of his creation, including even plants and animals, and "the very special providence of which believers are the objects,"[34] applying the latter to the Philippians as promised in this verse. Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians 9:6-10, coupled with this emphatic blessing upon the Philippians, surely supports such a view. However, as... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 4:19

Philippians 4:19. But my God shall supply— And my God. This is to be understood in the nature of a wish, or as expressive of what was the matter of his prayer for them. Many copies and versions read it in the optative mood; and may my God supply. Observe further, he says not our God, but my God; because he is speaking of God's recompensing to them the kindness which they had shown to him, as his servant; it was therefore most proper to mention the relation which God stood in to him, as that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Philippians 4:19

19. my—Paul calls God here "my God," to imply that God would reward their bounty to HIS servant, by "fully supplying" (translate so, literally, fill to the full) their every "need" ( :-), even as they had "fully" supplied his "need" (Philippians 4:16; Philippians 4:18). My Master will fully repay you; I cannot. The Philippians invested their bounty well since it got them such a glorious return. according to his riches—The measure of His supply to you will be the immeasurable "riches of His... read more

IV. EPILOGUE 4:10-20The apostle began this epistle by sharing some personal information about his situation in Rome (Philippians 1:12-26). He now returned from his concerns for the Philippians (Philippians 1:27 to Philippians 4:9) to his own circumstances (Philippians 4:10-20). Notice the somewhat chiastic structure of the epistle. This epilogue balances the prologue (Philippians 1:3-26)."Nowhere else in all of Paul’s letters nor in all of the letters of antiquity that have survived until the... read more
