This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Php 4:19. Ὁ δὲ Θεός μου, but my God) who will recompense what is given to His servant. In Php 4:19 this particular statement regarding the liberality of the Philippians is concluded by the word δὲ, but; but in Php 4:20 the conclusion of the whole of this joyous passage is made by δὲ, but [‘now.’]-πληρώσει) may God supply, nay, He will fully supply. [We may perceive that this act of kindness on the part of the Philippians was indeed excellently laid out, if even it only produced this prayer of the apostle.-V. g.]-χρείαν, need) As you have supplied and relieved my need, what is empty of yours will not remain empty [it shall be filled, πληρώσει Θεός].-ἐν δόξῃ, in glory) This should be referred to the whole sentence. There are riches in glory, glorious riches, immediately at hand; then besides, God will fully supply in glory, i.e. gloriously.
