Philippians 2
1. Paul exhorts them to unity, and to all humbleness of mind, by the example of Christ's humility;
12. to a careful proceeding in the way of salvation, that they be as lights to a wicked world,
16. and comforts to him their apostle, who is now ready to be offered up to God.
19. He hopes to send Timothy to them, and Epaphroditus also.














And I trust
The phrase "And I trust" reflects the Apostle Paul's deep-seated confidence and faith. The Greek word used here is "pepoitha," which conveys a sense of reliance and assurance. This trust is not based on human ability or circumstances but is rooted in a steadfast faith in God's sovereignty. Paul's use of "trust" here serves as a model for believers, encouraging them to place their confidence in God's plans and timing, even amidst uncertainty.

in the Lord
The phrase "in the Lord" signifies the foundation of Paul's trust. The Greek term "en Kyriō" indicates a relationship and position within the sphere of Christ's authority and care. This expression underscores the centrality of Christ in Paul's life and mission. For believers, it serves as a reminder that true trust and hope are anchored in a personal relationship with Jesus, who is both Savior and Sovereign.

that I myself
The emphasis on "I myself" highlights Paul's personal involvement and desire. The Greek "kagō autos" suggests a personal commitment and intention. Paul is not merely expressing a wish but a determined hope to be with the Philippians. This reflects the deep bond and affection he has for the church, illustrating the importance of personal relationships and community within the body of Christ.

will come soon
The phrase "will come soon" reveals Paul's hopeful anticipation. The Greek word "taxeōs" implies a sense of immediacy and urgency. Paul expresses a desire to visit the Philippians shortly, demonstrating his pastoral heart and eagerness to encourage and strengthen them in person. Historically, this reflects the challenges of travel in the ancient world, where plans were often uncertain. Yet, Paul's hope is not in the certainty of circumstances but in the Lord's providence.

(24) But I trust . . .--Compare Philemon 1:22, "Prepare me a lodging, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you," where the expectation seems even more immediate. The interval between the Letters is unknown. The received belief of St. Paul's release, and subsequent re-imprisonment (resting on unvarying tradition, and on the evidence of the Pastoral Epistles), supposes this expectation to have been fulfilled in due time.

In the Lord.--So above, Philippians 2:19. The expression, connected in both cases with matters of practical life and even of detail, is one which (like "the bowels of Jesus Christ" in Philippians 1:8) belongs to the consciousness of a life so absorbed in Christ, that it cannot think or live in hope except "in the Lord." But it carries with it, perhaps, also the idea suggested by St. James (James 4:15) "If the Lord will, we shall do this or that." Just so far as a hope or prayer is really "in the Lord," it will be accordant with the Divine will, and will therefore be realised.

Philippians 2:25-30 contain the immediate mission and commendation of Epaphroditus, who had been sent from Philippi with supplies, had fallen sick, and now in convalescence was longing for home, and fearful lest the report of his sickness should cause them anxiety. . . .

Verse 24. - But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. Notice the variations of tone respecting his prospects of release. "I know" (Philippians 1:25), "I hope" (Philemon 1:22, in the Greek), "I trust" here. The apostle was subject, like all of us, to changing currents of thought, to the ebb and flow of spirits; but his trust was always in the Lord. "Behold," says Chrysostom, "how he makes all things depend upon God." His hope, in all probability, was fulfilled (see Titus 2:12).
