Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philippians 1:4

_ _ making request — Translate, “making my request.”

_ _ for you all — The frequent repetition in this Epistle of “all” with “you,” marks that Paul desires to declare his love for all alike, and will not recognize any divisions among them.

_ _ with joy — the characteristic feature in this Epistle, as love is in that to the Ephesians (compare Philippians 1:18; Philippians 2:2, Philippians 2:19, Philippians 2:28; Philippians 3:1; Philippians 4:1, Philippians 4:4). Love and joy are the two first-fruits of the Spirit. Joy gives especial animation to prayers. It marked his high opinion of them, that there was almost everything in them to give him joy, and almost nothing to give him pain.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Philippians 1:3-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Philippians 1:4

With joy — After the epistle to the Ephesians, wherein love reigns, follows this, wherein there is perpetual mention of joy. "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy." And joy peculiarly enlivens prayer. The sum of the whole epistle is, I rejoice. Rejoice ye.
