It is right for me to feel this way about all of you The phrase "It is right" comes from the Greek word "dikaios," which means just or righteous. Paul is expressing a moral and spiritual correctness in his feelings towards the Philippians. This reflects a deep, divinely inspired affection and approval, suggesting that his emotions are aligned with God's will.

Paul’s feelings are not merely sentimental but are grounded in a shared spiritual journey and mission. since I have you in my heart for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel all of you share in God’s grace with me To think this of you all.--Rather, to be in this mind; to have this feeling on behalf of you all. The word here rendered "to think" is used with especial frequency in this Epistle (see Philippians 2:2; Philippians 2:5; Philippians 3:15; Philippians 3:19; Philippians 4:2; Philippians 4:10), as also in the Epistle to the Romans (Romans 8:5; Romans 11:20; Romans 12:3; Romans 12:16; Romans 14:16; Romans 15:5).

So Chrysostom, whose words are very striking: Οὕτω γάρ ἐστι τυραννικὸν ὁ ἔρως ὁ πνευματικὸς ὡς μηδενὶ παραχωρεῖν καιρῷ. But it is, perhaps, more natural to take them with the following. Ye all are partakers of my grace; rather, ye all are partakers with me of the grace. They were partakers of the grace of God given to him in his bonds and in his work. The like grace was given to them both for the passive and active sides of the Christian life - both in endurance of suffering and in propagating the gospel. Thus there seems to be no reference in the words "defense and confirmation" to his public defense before Caesar (which probably had not yet taken place), but generally to his work of preaching the gospel, which was both apologetic, meeting the objections of adversaries, and aggressive, asserting the truth.Parallel Commentaries ...
