This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Will turn (apobēsetai). Future middle indicative of apobainō, old verb, to come from, to come back, to turn out.

To my salvation (eis sōtērian). For his release from prison as he strongly hopes to see them again (Phi 1:26). Lightfoot takes the word to be Paul’s eternal salvation and it must be confessed that Phi 1:20 (the close of this sentence) does suit that idea best. Can it be that Paul carried both conceptions in the word here?

Supply (epichorēgias). Late and rare word (one example in inscription of first century a.d.). In N.T. only here and Eph 4:16. From the late verb epichorēgeō (double compound, epi, choros, hēgeomai, to furnish supply for the chorus) which see in 2Co 9:10; Gal 3:5.
