Philippians 3:15
_ _ therefore — resuming Philippians 3:3. “As many of us then, as are perfect,” that is, full grown (no longer “babes”) in the Christian life (Philippians 3:3, “worshipping God in the Spirit, and having no confidence in the flesh”), 1 Corinthians 2:6, fully established in things of God. Here, by “perfect,” he means one fully fit for running [Bengel]; knowing and complying with the laws of the course (2 Timothy 2:5). Though “perfect” in this sense, he was not yet “made perfect” (Greek) in the sense intended in Philippians 3:12, namely, “crowned with complete victory,” and having attained absolute perfection.
_ _ thus minded — having the mind which he had described, Philippians 3:7-14.
_ _ otherwise minded — having too high an opinion of yourselves as to your attainment of Christian perfection. “He who thinks that he has attained everything, hath nothing” [Chrysostom]. Probably, too, he refers to those who were tempted to think to attain to perfection by the law (Galatians 3:3): who needed the warning (Philippians 3:3), “Beware of the concision,” though on account of their former piety, Paul hopes confidently (as in Galatians 5:10) that God will reveal the path of right-mindedness to them. Paul taught externally God “reveals” the truth internally by His Spirit (Matthew 11:25; Matthew 16:17; 1 Corinthians 3:6).
_ _ unto you — who sincerely strive to do God’s will (John 7:17; Ephesians 1:17). |
Philippians 3:15-16
_ _ The apostle, having proposed himself as an example, urges the Philippians to follow it. Let the same mind be in us which was in blessed Paul. We see here how he was minded; let us be like-minded, and set our hearts upon Christ and heaven, as he did. 1. He shows that this was the thing wherein all good Christians were agreed, to make Christ all in all, and set their hearts upon another world. This is that whereto we have all attained. However good Christians may differ in their sentiments about other things, this is what they are agreed in, that Christ is a Christian's all, that to win Christ and to be found in him involve our happiness both here and hereafter. And therefore let us walk by the same rule, and mind the same thing. Having made Christ our all, to us to live must be Christ. Let us agree to press towards the mark, and make heaven our end. 2. That this is a good reason why Christians who differ in smaller matters should yet bear with one another, because they are agreed in the main matter: “If in any thing you be otherwise minded — if you differ from one another, and are not of the same judgment as to meats and days, and other matters of the Jewish law — yet you must not judge one another, while you all meet now in Christ as your centre, and hope to meet shortly in heaven as your home. As for other matters of difference, lay no great stress upon them, God shall reveal even this unto you. Whatever it is wherein you differ, you must wait till God give you a better understanding, which he will do in his due time. In the mean time, as far as you have attained, you must go together in the ways of God, join together in all the great things in which you are agreed, and wait for further light in the minor things wherein you differ.” |
Philippians 3:15
Let us, as many as are perfect — Fit for the race, strong in faith; so it means here. Be thus minded — Apply wholly to this one thing. And if in anything ye — Who are not perfect, who are weak in faith. Be otherwise minded — Pursuing other things. God, if ye desire it, shall reveal even this unto you — Will convince you of it. |
Philippians 3:15
(7) Let us therefore, as many as be (m) perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
(7) The conclusion of this exhortation standing upon three members: the first is, that those who have profited in the truth of this doctrine should continue in it. The second is, that if there are any who are yet ignorant and do not understand these things, and who doubt of the abolishing of the Law, they should cause no trouble, and should be gently waited for, until they also are instructed by the Lord. The third is, that they judge the false apostles by their fruits: in which he does not doubt to set forth himself as an example.
(m) He said before that he was not perfect. So that in this place he calls those perfect who have somewhat profited in the knowledge of Christ and the Gospel, whom he sets against the rude and ignorant, as he himself expounds in (Philippians 3:16). |

- be thus:

Galatians 5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
