This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the beginning of the gospel (en archēi tou euaggeliou). After he had wrought in Philippi (2Th 2:13).
Had fellowship (eKoinéōnēsen). “Had partnership” (first aorist active indicative).
In the matter (eis logon). “As to an account.” No other church opened an account with Paul.
Of giving and receiving (doseōs kai lēmpseōs). Credit and debit. A mercantile metaphor repeated in Phi 4:17 by eis logon humōn (to your account). Paul had to keep books then with no other church, though later Thessalonica and Beroea joined Philippi in support of Paul’s work in Corinth (2Co 11:8.).
But ye only (ei mē humeis monoi). Not even Antioch contributed anything but good wishes and prayers for Paul’s work (Act 13:1-3).
