Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philippians 3:11

_ _ If by any means — not implying uncertainty of the issue, but the earnestness of the struggle of faith (1 Corinthians 9:26, 1 Corinthians 9:27), and the urgent need of jealous self-watchfulness (1 Corinthians 10:12).

_ _ attain unto the resurrection of the dead — The oldest manuscripts read, “the resurrection from (out of) the dead,” namely, the first resurrection; that of believers at Christ’s coming (1 Corinthians 15:23; 1 Thessalonians 4:15; Revelation 20:5, Revelation 20:6). The Greek word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. “The power of Christ’s resurrection” (Romans 1:4), ensures the believer’s attainment of the “resurrection from the (rest of the) dead” (compare Philippians 3:20, Philippians 3:21). Compare “accounted worthy to obtain the resurrection from the dead” (Luke 20:35). “The resurrection of the just” (Luke 14:14).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Philippians 3:9-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Philippians 3:11
