Philippians 1
1. 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.














for I know
The phrase "for I know" reflects the Apostle Paul's confident assurance. The Greek word used here is "oida," which implies a deep, intuitive knowledge. Paul’s certainty is not based on mere human optimism but on a profound spiritual insight. This confidence is rooted in his faith in God's sovereignty and the promises of Christ. Historically, Paul’s experiences of God’s faithfulness in past trials bolster his assurance in the present situation.

that through your prayers
Paul acknowledges the power of intercessory prayer. The Greek word for "prayers" is "proseuchē," which denotes a heartfelt petition to God. Paul emphasizes the communal aspect of faith, recognizing that the prayers of the Philippian believers are instrumental in his deliverance. This highlights the early Christian understanding of the Church as a body, where each member's spiritual contributions are vital. Archaeological findings of early Christian gatherings suggest that communal prayer was a cornerstone of their worship and support system.

and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ
The "provision" here is translated from the Greek word "epichorēgia," which conveys the idea of a generous and sufficient supply. The "Spirit of Jesus Christ" refers to the Holy Spirit, who is sent by Christ to empower and sustain believers. This phrase underscores the Trinitarian belief that the Holy Spirit is actively involved in the lives of Christians, providing guidance, strength, and comfort. Historically, this reflects the early Church's reliance on the Holy Spirit for courage and wisdom, especially during persecution.

my distress
Paul's "distress" refers to his imprisonment and the challenges he faces as a result of his ministry. The Greek word "thlipsis" is often translated as "tribulation" or "affliction," indicating severe pressure or trouble. Paul’s use of this term connects his personal suffering with the broader theme of Christian endurance. Scripturally, this echoes Jesus’ teachings that His followers would face trials but should take heart because He has overcome the world (John 16:33).

will turn out for my deliverance
The phrase "will turn out for my deliverance" is a statement of faith in God’s redemptive power. The Greek word for "deliverance" is "sōtēria," which can mean salvation, rescue, or preservation. Paul is confident that his current situation will ultimately lead to his spiritual and possibly physical deliverance. This reflects a deep trust in God’s ability to bring good out of suffering, a theme prevalent throughout Scripture. Historically, Paul’s deliverance could be seen as both a personal vindication and a testament to the power of the Gospel, encouraging believers to remain steadfast in their faith.

(19-24) In these verses, under the power of that feeling of joy of which he speaks above, St. Paul unveils to the Philippians his most sacred aspirations and convictions, and the division of feeling in his own soul between longing for rest and consciousness of work yet to be done. There is a still fuller disclosure of a similar "spiritual experience" in 2Corinthians 4:8; 2Corinthians 5:15. It is rare in the apostolic writings. St. Paul seems, in 2Corinthians 6:11, almost to apologise for disclosing what is usually kept, in delicacy and reverence, for God alone.

(19) Shall turn to my salvation.--Or, literally, shall issue in salvation to me. The word "salvation" does not appear to be used here in its ordinary sense, that is, of primary or ultimate salvation from sin in Christ, but in the sense of "safety." The enemies of the Apostle thought to stir up fresh danger and difficulty for St. Paul; but the attempt (he says) will only turn out to his safety--a safety which he believes (see Philippians 1:25-26) will be shown "in life," by his actual release and return to his beloved churches, but which, if God so wills it, will be at least equally manifested in the "death," which would bring him safe home to Christ. In either case he will be safe from all the enmity both of open sin and of malignant jealousy.

Through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit.--This overruling of all enmity to his safety he hopes for through the intercession of the Philippian Church (comp. Philemon 1:23), and the fresh supply of grace which, through such intercession, may be given to him. For the word "supply" in this sense see Ephesians 4:15; and comp. Galatians 3:5; Colossians 2:19. . . .

Verse 19. - For I know that this shall turn to my salvation. Τοῦτο, this, refers to the general preaching of Christ, rather than (as Calvin and others interpret) to the affliction raised up for St. Paul. The opposition of his enemies will stir him up to greater activity and earnestness, and so conduce to his spiritual well-being now and to his salvation hereafter. This he knows, for "all things work together for good to them that love God." Some, as Chrysostom, understand σωτηρία here of present safety or deliverance from prison; but this seems improbable. The words are quoted from Job 13:16, Septuagint Version. Through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. He knows that they pray for him; he humbly believes that those prayers assist him in working out his own salvation. As the prayer ascends, says Bengel, the supply of the Spirit descends; comp. Galatians 2:5, "He that ministereth ['supplieth,' R.V.] to you the Spirit." The Spirit is the supply; the Lord Jesus sends the quickening Spirit from the Father. Others, as Meyer, make the genitive subjective, and interpret "the aid which the Spirit supplies." The Spirit is here called "the Spirit of Jesus Christ" - "proceeding from the Father and the Son." So also Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:9; Acts 16:7 (in the true reading), "the Spirit of Jesus."
