Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 1:2

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Frequent comments on this characteristic Pauline greeting have been made in this series of commentaries. For example, see my Commentary on Romans 1:1 and my Commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:2. Scholars are inclined to make a big thing out of the order of "grace" and "peace" as they appear in most of Paul's greetings. As Boice said, "The final point is this: grace comes before peace .... In God's order of things God's hand is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 1:3

I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you, always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy, for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now.Significant in this apostolic prayer is the absence from it of any list of things Paul needed to receive from God, and the predominance of those things for which Paul felt the need of giving thanks to God! Paul's prayers were more like a list of things he has already received and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 1:3

Philippians 1:3. I thank my God— From this verse to the 11th the Apostle acquaints the Philippians with the satisfaction that he had in them, and how much he thanked God upon their account, and what was the matter of his prayers to God for them. Instead of, upon every remembrance of you, Dr. Heylin reads, as often as I make mention of you: and he observes, that it was the custom, as well of the Jews as of the Christians, to name in their prayers those for whom they had a great regard. Others,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Philippians 1:2

2. Grace . . . peace—The very form of this salutation implies the union of Jew, Greek, and Roman. The Greek salutation was "joy" (chairein), akin to the Greek for "grace" (charis). The Roman was "health," the intermediate term between grace and peace. The Hebrew was "peace," including both temporal and spiritual prosperity. Grace must come first if we are to have true peace. from . . . from—Omit the second "from": as in the Greek, "God our Father" and "the Lord Jesus Christ," are most closely... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:1-2

I. SALUTATION 1:1-2Paul began this epistle by identifying himself and his companion and by wishing God’s richest blessings on his readers."Almost all letters from the Greco-Roman period began with a threefold salutation: The Writer, to the Addressee, Greetings. Very often the next item in the letter would be a wish (sometimes a prayer) for the health or well-being of the addressee. Paul’s letters, which generally follow this standard form, usually include a thanksgiving; in some of these, as... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:2

Grace and peace were Paul’s favorite words of blessing in his epistles. He wished that God would bestow these gifts on the Philippians even more than He had. Grace refers to God’s unmerited favor and divine enablement. Peace is the cessation of hostilities and the inner tranquillity that are the result of God’s grace. Charis (grace) is a variation on the word usually used in Greek salutations, namely, chairein meaning "greetings." Shalom (peace) was the traditional Jewish greeting that meant... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:3

The Christians in Philippi always caused Paul to give thanks to God when he prayed for them at his set times of prayer. [Note: Ibid., pp. 16-17.] All of Paul’s epistles begin with a similar commendation except Galatians. This thanksgiving is particularly warm. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 1:3-8

A. Thanksgiving 1:3-8The apostle proceeded to express his sincere gratitude to God for his friends in Philippi. He did this to assure them of God’s continuing working for them and his satisfaction with their partnership in the work of the gospel. In this section Paul introduced and summarized the main theme of Philippians, namely, partnership in the gospel. He stated it explicitly in Philippians 1:5 and developed it later in the body of the epistle (Philippians 1:27 to Philippians 4:9). read more
