This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Php 1:27. Μόνον, only) Make this one thing your care; nothing else. [-- whatever happens as to my arrival. By supposing this or that event, not a few persuade themselves, that they will be at last such as it is proper for them to be; but it is better always to perform present duty, without evasions.-V. g.]-τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, the Gospel) For the sake of propagating which I delight [feel it desirable] to remain. [There is plainly taught in this very passage all that is worthy of a Christian man, who desires to be called evangelical. Faith is mentioned, Php 1:27, hope, Php 1:28, love, ch. Php 2:2.-V. g.]-ἰδὼν-ἀκούσω, seeing-I may hear) Comp. Php 1:30.-ἀκούσω) I may hear and know; for ἀκούσω is to be referred also to coming and seeing you.-ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι, in one spirit) one among you.-μιᾷ ψυχῇ, with one soul [mind]) There is sometimes a certain natural antipathy among saints, but this feeling is overcome, when there is not only unity of spirit but also of soul.-συναθλοῦντες) striving along with me. Paul was struggling in a conflict, Php 1:30.
