Philippians 1:6
_ _ confident — This confidence nerves prayers and thanksgivings (Philippians 1:3, Philippians 1:4).
_ _ this very thing — the very thing which he prays for (Philippians 1:4) is the matter of his believing confidence (Mark 11:24; 1 John 5:14, 1 John 5:15). Hence the result is sure.
_ _ he which hath begun — God (Philippians 2:13).
_ _ a good work — Any work that God begins, He will surely finish (1 Samuel 3:12). Not even men begin a work at random. Much more the fact of His beginning the work is a pledge of its completion (Isaiah 26:12). So as to the particular work here meant, the perfecting of their fellowship in the Gospel (Philippians 1:5; Psalms 37:24; Psalms 89:33; Psalms 138:8; John 10:28, John 10:29; Romans 8:29, Romans 8:35-39; Romans 11:1, Romans 11:2; Hebrews 6:17-19; James 1:17; Jude 1:24). As God cast not off Israel for ever, though chastening them for a time, so He will not cast off the spiritual Israel (Deuteronomy 33:3; Isaiah 27:3; 1 Peter 1:5).
_ _ perform it until — “perfect it up to” [Alford, Ellicott, and others].
_ _ the day of ... Christ — (Philippians 1:10). The Lord’s coming, designed by God in every age of the Church to be regarded as near, is to be the goal set before believers’ minds rather than their own death. |
Philippians 1:6
Being persuaded — The grounds of which persuasion are set down in the following verse. That he who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it until the day of Christ — That he who having justified, hath begun to sanctify you, will carry on this work, till it issue in glory. |
Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the (d) day of Jesus Christ:
(d) The Spirit of God will not forsake you to the very latter end, until your mortal bodies will appear before the judgment of Christ to be glorified. |
