This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Php 2:13. Ὁ Θεὸς γὰρ, for God) God alone; He is present with you even in my absence. You want nothing, only be not wanting to yourselves; comp. 2Pe 1:5; 2Pe 1:3. [You can do nothing of yourselves; avoid security. Some, trusting too much to their exalted condition, think that they may hold the grace of GOD on the same footing as the Israelites held the food sent down from heaven, Num 11:8, and therefore that it is at their own will either to struggle against it or anew to grant it admission.-V. g.]-τὸ θέλειν, to will) that you have willed salvation in my presence, and still will it.-τὸ ἐνεργεῖν, to do) even now in my absence.-ὑπὲρ τῆς εὐδοκίας, of His good pleasure) To this refer, to will; and to do, to, who worketh.
