This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Php 1:11. Πεπληρωμένοι καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης, κ.τ.λ., filled with the fruits of righteousness) The same construction is found at Col 1:9, ἵνα πληρωθῆτε τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν; and the fruit of righteousness is generally used in the singular number, Heb 12:11; Jam 3:18; also Rom 6:22, precisely as Paul elsewhere speaks of the fruit of the Spirit, of light, of the lips. The more common reading is πεπληρωμένοι καρπῶν, κ.τ.λ.[6]
[6] ABD(Δ)Gfg Vulg. (except Fuld. MS. corrected by Victor of Capua), read καρπόν. No old authority except Syr. supports the καοπῶν of the Rec. Text.-ED.
