Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philippians 3:19

_ _ destruction — everlasting at Christ’s coming. Philippians 1:28, “perdition”; the opposite word is “Savior” (Philippians 3:20).

_ _ end — fixed doom.

_ _ whose god is their belly — (Romans 16:18); hereafter to be destroyed by God (1 Corinthians 6:13). In contrast to our “body” (Philippians 3:21), which our God, the Lord Jesus, shall “fashion like unto His glorious body.” Their belly is now pampered, our body now wasted; then the respective states of both shall be reversed.

_ _ glory is in their shame — As “glory” is often used in the Old Testament for God (Psalms 106:20), so here it answers to “whose God,” in the parallel clause; and “shame” is the Old Testament term contemptuously given to an idol (Judges 6:32, Margin). Hosea 4:7 seems to be referred to by Paul (compare Romans 1:32). There seems no allusion to circumcision, as no longer glorious, but a shame to them (Philippians 3:2). The reference of the immediate context is to sensuality, and carnality in general.

_ _ mind earthly things — (Romans 8:5). In contrast to Philippians 3:20; Colossians 3:2.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Philippians 3:17-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Philippians 3:19

Whose end is destruction — This is placed in the front, that what follows may be read with the greater horror. Whose god is their belly — Whose supreme happiness lies in gratifying their sensual appetites. Who mind — Relish, desire, seek, earthly things.
