Excerpt from Commentaries on the Epistles of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians

While luke makes mention only of two individuals Lydia and the Jailer - with their respective households, as the fruits of the first preaching of the Gospel at Philippi, it clearly appears, from the Epistle to the Philippians, that from these small beginnings a flourishing Christian Church had sprung up, which, at the time when the Epistle was written, was in so prosperous a state, that the Apostle, who reproves so sharply the Churches of corinth and galatia, finds no occasion for censuring the philippians, but com mends in the highest terms their exemplary deportment.
