Paul testifies his thankfulness to God, and his love toward the Philippians,9. daily praying for their increase in grace; 12. he shows what good the faith of Christ had received by his troubles at Rome; 21. and how ready he is to glorify Christ either by his life or death; 27. exhorting them to unity; 28. and to fortitude in persecution. (10) That ye may be sincere and without offence.--This St. Paul contemplates as the result of thoughtful and discriminating judgment. The word "sincere" (used only here and in 2Peter 1:3), and the corresponding substantive, "sincerity" (1Corinthians 5:8; 2Corinthians 1:12; 2Corinthians 2:17), although there is some uncertainty as to their derivation, undoubtedly signify purity tested and found clear of all base admixtures. The word "without offence" is used in Acts 24:16 ("a conscience void of offence") for that which is free from the stumbling of error; and in 1Corinthians 10:32 ("giving none offence") for that at which none will stumble. The latter sense (nearly equivalent to the "unreprovable" of Colossians 1:22) better suits this passage. For "sincere" describes the positive aspect of purity; "without offence" the more negative aspect, in which it is found to present no excuse for fault-finding or scandal. It is, therefore, the "sincerity," not of unconscious innocence, but of well-tried and thoughtful purity, proof even against suspicion, which St. Paul describes as the perfect fruit of love "overflowing in knowledge." . . . Verse 10. - That ye may approve things that are excellent. Love, issuing in spiritual discernment, would enable them to recognize, to test, to prove things that are excellent; so Bengel," Non modo prae malts bona, seal in bonds optima." This seems better than the alternative rendering, "to prove the things that differ" (comp. Romans 2:18). That ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ. Αἰλικρινής according to the common derivation (from εἵλη, sunlight, and κρίνω), means "judged in the full light of the sun," that is, pure, true; comp. John 2:21, "He that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." According to another possible derivation, the word would mean "unmixed," that is, genuine, sincere. "Without offense" may be taken actively or passively; without giving offense (causing stumbling) to others, or without stumbling themselves. Perhaps the latter sense is more suitable here. He prays that the Philippians may be true and pure inwardly, and blameless in their outward lives. "Till," rather, "against the day of Christ." The preposition εἰς does not denote time only, as ἄχρις in Ver. 6; it implies preparation. Parallel Commentaries ...
