1:20. According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be
confounded: but with all confidence, as always, so now also, shall
Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
1:21. For to me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain.
1:22. And if to live in the flesh: this is to me the fruit of labour.
And what I shall choose I know not.
This is to me, etc... His meaning is, that although his dying
immediately for Christ would be his gain, by putting him presently in
possession of heaven; yet he is doubtful what he should choose, because
by staying longer in the flesh, he should be more beneficial to the
souls of his neighbours.
1:23. But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved
and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
1:24. But to abide still in the flesh is needful for you.
1:25. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue
with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
1:26. That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my
coming to you again.
1:27. Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ:
that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you,
that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for
the faith of the gospel.
1:28. And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them
is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God.
1:29. For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him,
but also to suffer for him:
1:30. Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me and now
have heard of me.
Philippians Chapter 2
He recommends them to unity and humility, and to work out their
salvation with fear and trembling.
2:1. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
2:2. Fulfil ye my joy, that you be of one mind, having the same charity,
being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
2:3. Let nothing be done through contention: neither by vain glory. But
in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
2:4. Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those
that are other men's.
2:5. For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
2:6. Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God:
2:7. But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in
the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
Emptied himself, exinanivit... made himself as of no account.
2:8. He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death
of the cross.
2:9. For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a
name which is above all names:
2:10. That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are
in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
2:11. And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is
in the glory of God the Father.
2:12. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as
in my presence only but much more now in my absence) with fear and
trembling work out your salvation.
