Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 4:10-23

Thanks for the Philippians’ gifts (4:10-23)The Philippians thought constantly of Paul’s needs, but were not able to send anything to him in his imprisonment until now. Paul’s joy at receiving this gift is not because he has a greedy desire for money, because he has long ago learnt to be satisfied with whatever he has. His contentment comes not through money or possessions, but through the assurance that Christ enables him to meet every situation (10-13).Paul repeats that his pleasure is not... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 4:19

And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.Hendriksen made a distinction between God's general providence over all of his creation, including even plants and animals, and "the very special providence of which believers are the objects,"[34] applying the latter to the Philippians as promised in this verse. Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians 9:6-10, coupled with this emphatic blessing upon the Philippians, surely supports such a view. However, as... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 4:20

Now unto our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.This short, beautiful doxology, so characteristic of Paul's letters, is concluded with the solemn "Amen." For comment on "Amen," see my Commentary on Hebrews 13:25. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 4:19

Philippians 4:19. But my God shall supply— And my God. This is to be understood in the nature of a wish, or as expressive of what was the matter of his prayer for them. Many copies and versions read it in the optative mood; and may my God supply. Observe further, he says not our God, but my God; because he is speaking of God's recompensing to them the kindness which they had shown to him, as his servant; it was therefore most proper to mention the relation which God stood in to him, as that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Philippians 4:19

19. my—Paul calls God here "my God," to imply that God would reward their bounty to HIS servant, by "fully supplying" (translate so, literally, fill to the full) their every "need" ( :-), even as they had "fully" supplied his "need" (Philippians 4:16; Philippians 4:18). My Master will fully repay you; I cannot. The Philippians invested their bounty well since it got them such a glorious return. according to his riches—The measure of His supply to you will be the immeasurable "riches of His... read more
