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

Paul's prayers were more like a list of things he has already received and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.Paul does not here refer to himself as the founder of the church at Philippi, though in a sense he was the founder. Paul, however, preferred to give the glory to God, recognizing the Father as the one who actually converted them and brought them to a saving knowledge of the Saviour.Boice flatly declared that this verse is one "of the three greatest in the Bible,"[16] teaching... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 1:7

Even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel ye are all partakers with me of grace.You all ... See under Philippians 1:5.I have you in my heart ... Paul's deep affection for the Philippians is easy to understand. Nothing caused them to waver in their constant help of his preaching mission. Not even Paul's imprisonment had caused them to cut off their... read more
