Filipenses 1:10

10. That ye may approve Love thus balanced by intelligence and quick moral perception, and so increasing more and more, would render them prompt to distinguish between things that differ as to right and wrong, and so to approve the excellent, whether in opinions, measures of Christian work, men to do the work, or personal life. The application is very broad. The end sought by this increase goes deep and reaches far.

Sincere Pure. The original means judged of in sunlight. In clear sunlight defects and flaws are easily detected. The soul that in the bright light of God’s presence shows no spot, is sincere in the sense of this passage.

Without offence Blameless in external life, the previous term referring to the internal. This is a blessed state in which to live; a necessary state for the day of Christ. This, however, is only negative.
