Philippians 2:1-18 NIV

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:12

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed: having confirmed the example of Christ’s admirable condescension and affection from the glorious issue of it, he doth here reassume his exhortation, with a friendly compellation, commending their former sincere endeavours to obey the gospel (so Philippians 1:5, and Philippians 2:15) in following Christ, Matthew 11:28, and moving them to persevere in obedience and love to God and man. Not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:13

That they might not be negligent in working out their salvation with humility, from any conceit or carnal confidence any might have that they could believe and repent when they pleased, imagining their wills to be as pliable to good as evil; the apostle urgeth the effectual grace of God, as a powerful inducement and encouragement to embrace his exhortation. For it is God which worketh in you: they should not despond of any attaining salvation, or think they did labour in vain in the diligent... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:14

Do all things without murmurings; the apostle here subjoins to his exhortation to condescension and humility, a dissuasive from the opposite vices, moving them to do all that was incumbent on them as Christians without private mutterings, secret whisperings, and complainings, which might argue their impatience under the yoke of Christ, while put upon doing or suffering such things; either reflecting on God’s providence, as the Israelites of old, Numbers 11:1, &c.; 1 Corinthians 10:10;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:15

That ye may be blameless and harmless; that ye behave yourselves so that none can justly reproach you, Luke 1:6 and though you cannot altogether put to silence foolish men, John 15:25; 1 Peter 2:15, yet they cannot have any just cause to stain your reputation; but you may be found sincere, simple, void of guile, Matthew 10:16; John 1:47; Romans 16:19; 1 Peter 2:1, with 1 Peter 1:14. The sons of God, without rebuke; without such spots and blemishes as are inconsistent with your adoption, or... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:16

Holding forth the word of life; carefully bearing before you, and stedfastly showing, not only by your profession, but conversation, the Lord Jesus Christ, 1 John 1:1, whose gospel is the word of life, in that it is the power of God to salvation, Acts 13:26; Romans 1:16. He doth not say, holding forth carnal institutions, nor human traditions; but that word, wherein is to be had eternal life, John 5:39; John 6:68. That I may rejoice in the day of Christ: he quickens them from the consideration... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:17

Yea, and if I be offered: that he might further confirm and encourage them in their duty, he doth not here conclude the certainty of his death, at his first imprisonment, having expressed before some confidence of his surviving it, Philippians 1:19,Philippians 1:25; but, in imitation of Christ, the good Shepherd, John 10:11, to demonstrate his constant affection to them, (as he doth to others, 2 Corinthians 12:15; 1 Thessalonians 2:8), he argues upon supposition of his own death, which might... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Philippians 2:18

For the same cause also do ye joy; he expects the like affection and sympathy in every one of them, that upon the account of his sufferings they would the more readily, cheerfully, and courageously believe in and suffer for Christ: considering the difference between death threatened by man, for our sticking close to God, Matthew 10:28, and denounced for slipping aside from God, in whole or in part, 2 Thessalonians 1:5. And rejoice with me; and that would be a congratulation of him, who should... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Philippians 2:1-4

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESPhilippians 2:1. Consolation in Christ.—Exhortation would be better, inasmuch as consolation anticipates the comfort of the next phrase. Comfort of love.—Encouragement which love gives. Fellowship of the Spirit.—“Participation in the Spirit” Meyer’s remark is, “This is to be explained of the Holy Spirit.” Beet intimates a widening of the idea—“brotherliness prompted by the Holy Spirit.” Bowels and mercies.—On the former term see Philippians 1:8. The word for... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Philippians 2:5-8

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESPhilippians 2:5. Let this mind be in you.—The apostle’s word reminds us that he had already counselled his readers to be likeminded amongst themselves. “Each to each, and all to Christ,” this verse seems to say. What follows—to Philippians 2:11—is the very marrow of the gospel.Philippians 2:6. Who, being in the form of God.—R.V. margin, “being originally.” Form here implies not the external accidents, but the essential attributes. Similar to this, but not so... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Philippians 2:9-11

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESPhilippians 2:9. Highly exalted.—A word much stronger than those, e.g., in the Acts, which describe the raising up of the murdered Lord of life. We trace the descent step by step to the last rung of the ladder; by one stupendous act (Romans 1:4) God graced His Son with unique honour and dignity (Ephesians 1:21).Philippians 2:10. That at the name of Jesus.—Not at the mention of the name Jesus, but in the name of Jesus. For illustration of the phrase see Christ’s own... read more
