This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Php 1:20. Ἐν οὐδενὶ αἰσχυνθήσομαι, ἀλλʼ ἐν πάσῃ παῤῥησίᾳ μεγαλυνθήσεται Χριστὸς, in nothing shall I be ashamed, but in all boldness Christ shall be magnified) He removes the ignominy from himself: he ascribes the boldness to himself, the glory to Christ.-σώματι, in my body) in bonds.-εἴτε διὰ ζωῆς, εἴτε διὰ θανάτου, whether by life or by death) The disjunction follows, Php 1:21-22. In what way soever it shall fall out, says he, it will be well. I cannot lose. Paul himself was ignorant what would be the issue; for the apostles were not omniscient, but rather in what referred to themselves they were exercised [disciplined] by faith and patience.
