Philippians 3:20
_ _ our conversation — rather, “our state” or “country”; our citizenship: our life as citizens. We are but pilgrims on earth; how then should we “mind earthly things?” (Philippians 3:19; Hebrews 11:9, Hebrews 11:10, Hebrews 11:13-16). Roman citizenship was then highly prized; how much more should the heavenly citizenship (Acts 22:28; compare Luke 10:20)?
_ _ is — Greek, “has its existence.”
_ _ in heaven — Greek, “in the heavens.”
_ _ look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ — “We wait for (so the same Greek is translated, Romans 8:19) the Lord Jesus as a (that is, in the capacity of a) Savior” (Hebrews 9:28). That He is “the Lord,” now exalted above every name, assures our expectation (Philippians 2:9-11). Our High Priest is gone up into the Holy of Holies not made with hands, there to atone for us; and as the Israelites stood outside the tabernacle, expecting Aaron’s return (compare Luke 1:21), so must we look unto the heavens expecting Christ thence. |
Philippians 3:20
Our conversation — The Greek word is of a very extenslve meaning: our citizenship, our thoughts, our affections, are already in heaven. |
Philippians 3:20
(9) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
(9) He sets against these fellows true pastors who neglect earthly things, and aspire to heaven only, where they know that even in their bodies they will be clothed with that eternal glory, by the power of God. |
