Commentaries on Philippians 1:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Paul and Timotheus - That Timothy was at this time with the apostle in Rome we learn from Philemon 2:19, and also that he was very high in the apostle's estimation. He had also accompanied the apostle on his two voyages to Philippi, see Acts 16 and 20., and was therefore deservedly dear to the Church in that city. It was on these accounts that St. Paul joined his name to his own, not because he was in any part the author of this epistle, but he might have…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Paul and Timotheus - Paul frequently unites some person with him in his epistles; see the notes at 1 Corinthians 1:1. It is clear from this, that Timothy was with Paul at Rome. Why he was there is unknown. It is evident that he was not there as a prisoner with Paul, and the probability is, that he was one of the friends who had gone to Rome with a view to show his sympathy with him in his sufferings; compare the notes at 2 Timothy 4:9. There was special…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1The Philippians felt a very deep interest for the apostle. The scope of the epistle is to confirm them in the faith, to encourage them to walk as becomes the gospel of Christ, to caution them against judaizing teachers, and to express gratitude for their Christian bounty. This epistle is the only one, among those written by St. Paul, in which no censures are implied or expressed. Full commendation and confidence are in every part, and the Philippians are…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1Timothy was one of Paul's most trusted co-workers and messengers. Paul lists Timothy as a co-sender for five other letters: 2 Corinthians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians Philemon servants of Christ Jesus: Paul and Timothy belonged entirely to Christ and were fully devoted to his service (see Philippians 2:20–21). God's holy people are made holy in God's sight by Christ's redeeming work (see Ephesians 1:4, 7; 5:25–27; Colossians 1:22). They are…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1The INTERNAL EVIDENCE for the authenticity of this Epistle is strong. The style, manner of thought, and doctrine, accord with Paul's. The incidental allusions also establish his authorship. Paley [Horæ Paulinæ, ch. 7] instances the mention of the object of Epaphroditus' journey to Rome, the Philippian contribution to Paul's wants, Epaphroditus' sickness (Php 1:7; 2:25-30; 4:10-18), the fact that Timothy had been long with Paul at Philippi (Php 1:1; 2:19)…Read the comment
