Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Philippians 4:10-19

A Final Expression Of Gratitude For Their Concern About Him As Revealed In The Gift That Epaphroditus Had Brought (Philippians 4:10-19 ). Paul has taken the opportunity provided by Epaphroditus’ return to Philippi, to send what was very much a pastoral letter, and one which was also partly to smooth the way for Epaphroditus’ return to Philippi (Philippians 2:25-30). But in it he now expresses his gratitude for their thoughts concerning him, especially as it was revealed in a practical way by... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Philippians 4:19

‘And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.’ So as they had supplied his need as a servant of God, they could now be sure that God would supply all their needs in accordance with His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. They would find that God too would be more than generous, and that was because by their generous attitude towards those in God’s service they had proved themselves to be His people. Furthermore God’s generosity would far outweigh... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Philippians 4:19-23

Php_4:19-23 . Conclusion.— Paul’ s wants have been supplied, now he is assured that the wants of his friends will also be provided for; the ground of this hope is that God has given glorious riches in Christ. So the apostle utters a doxology to the Father. The letter being written to the whole church, he salutes every member of it— designated as “ every saint” ( Php_1:1 *). His companions join in his greetings, especially the Christians in “ Cæ sar’ s household.” These would, for the most... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 4:19

But my God: see Philippians 4:3; he saith my God, because he imputeth and owneth that to be done to himself which is done according to his mind unto any of his ambassadors, he having received the gift from their hand by Paul. Shall supply all your need; will, in a gracious return to Paul’s prayer, abundantly answer (yea, above all he could ask or think) all their expectations, Psalms 41:1-3, with 2 Corinthians 9:8,2 Corinthians 9:10. According to his riches in glory; agreeably to his own... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Philippians 4:15-19

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESPhilippians 4:15. No Church communicated with me.—The lofty independence of the apostle had not unbent to any other Church as to this. There are men from whom one could never receive a gift without sacrifice of self-respect. St. Paul was not the man to be patronised.Philippians 4:18. An odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.—The last word transfers their deed to another sphere entirely. “Ye did it unto Me,” says Christ.Philippians... read more

DISCOURSE: 2165ALL NEEDFUL SUPPLIES THROUGH CHRISTPhilippians 4:19. My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.AS it is a pleasing reflection to a generous man, that the object whom he relieves will have his condition meliorated, so is it a most delightful thought to a grateful mind, that there is One both able and engaged to recompense our benefactors. Were it not for this consideration, the reluctance which many feel to be burthensome to their friends,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Philippians 4:1-23

Philippians 4:6 . Be careful for nothing let your requests be made known unto God. Not that we are to abandon all care, or become careless, about the things of the present life, for that would be inconsistent with the requirement, to provide things honest in the sight of all men, and for that purpose to be diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. But it becomes christians not to be burdened with inordinate care, or to be over solicitous about any temporal good, so as... read more
