Philippians 2:21
_ _ Translate as Greek, “They all” (namely, who are now with me, Philippians 1:14, Philippians 1:17; Philippians 4:21 : such Demas, then with him, proved to be, Colossians 4:14; compare 2 Timothy 4:10; Philemon 1:24).
_ _ seek their own — opposed to Paul’s precept (Philippians 2:4; 1 Corinthians 10:24, 1 Corinthians 10:33; 1 Corinthians 13:5). This is spoken, by comparison with Timothy; for Philippians 1:16, Philippians 1:17 implies that some of those with Paul at Rome were genuine Christians, though not so self-sacrificing as Timothy. Few come to the help of the Lord’s cause, where ease, fame, and gain have to be sacrificed. Most help only when Christ’s gain is compatible with their own (Judges 5:17, Judges 5:23). |
Philippians 2:21
For all — But Timotheus. Seek their own — Ease, safety, pleasure, or profit. Amazing! In that golden age of the church, could St. Paul throughly approve of one only, among all the labourers that were with him? Philippians 1:14, Philippians 1:17. And how many do we think can now approve themselves to God? Not the things of Jesus Christ — They who seek these alone, will sadly experience this. They will find few helpers likeminded with themselves, willing naked to follow a naked Master. |
Philippians 2:21
For (r) all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
(r) The most part. |
