Philippians 1:16

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

so that you may approve what is superior, in order that you may be sincere and blameless in the day of Christ,

For we are not like the majority who peddle the word of God, but as from pure motives--but as from God--we speak before God in Christ.

Because of this, [since we] have this ministry, just as we have been shown mercy, we do not lose heart,

"Loyal love [should come] for the afflicted [from] his friend, even if he forsakes the fear of Shaddai.

I myself also could talk as you, if {you were in my place}; I could join against you with words, and I could shake at you with my head.

because they persecute [those] whom you, yourself, have struck, and they tell of the pain of [those] you have wounded.
