(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The subject of his prayer for them (Phi 1:4).
your love - to Christ, producing love not only to Paul, Christ’s minister, as it did, but also to one another, which it did not altogether as much as it ought (Phi 2:2; Phi 4:2).
knowledge - of doctrinal and practical truth.
judgment - rather, “perception”; “perceptive sense.” Spiritual perceptiveness: spiritual sight, spiritual hearing, spiritual feeling, spiritual taste. Christianity is a vigorous plant, not the hotbed growth of enthusiasm. “Knowledge” and “perception” guard love from being ill-judged.
