Philippians 1(15 - 30) Bible Study

Philippians 1 (15 - 30)

15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

They were preaching Christ out of envy that they were feeling towards Paul, in his success at teaching the Gospel in Rome. They wanted to transfer the credit from him to themselves. (Some were probably Judaizers. Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 3:10 – 15, 2 Corinthians 11:1 - 4)¹

They probably also denounced Paul to the Jews in Rome as a very imperfect Christian, because of his opposition to the doctrine of circumcision. They probably also endeavoured to prejudice him with the Roman authorities.²

16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

Paul has been apppointed by God for the defense of the gospel. (1 Thessalonians 3:2, 3³, Philippians 1:7⁴)

But the others out of contention took up the opportunity of Paul being in prison to exalt themselves and so depreciate Paul and his teaching, and cause trouble for him while he was bound.⁵

18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

That some preach Christ out of envy and rivraly – Those who were envious of Paul were glad that he was imprisioned, as they thought it gave them a competitive edge over him in the what they considered the contest of preaching the gospel. They had in part a competitive spirit, which is often common among preachers.

Paul didn't believe that all other preachers had bad motives. He knew that others also preached from good will.

The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition – Those who are preaching the gospel out of wrong motives are infected with selfish ambition. They serve, but not with sincerity.

Ambition is not necessarily bad. There isn't anything wrong in wanting to be (or do) the best for God. Selfish ambition is more concerned about a successful image rather than striving for true success before God.

Supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains – Those who preached Christ from the wrong motive wanted to add affliction to Paul's chains. Their competitive hearts not only wanted to themselves to win, but for Paul to lose.

They wanted to humiliate Paul by making him admit that others were more effective than he was. What they didn't understand was that he honestly didn't care about this as he didn't have a competitive spirit in ministry.

The important this is that in every way, whether from false motive or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice – Paul could rejoice that the gospel was being preached more because of his imprisonment. It didn't matter that some where motivated in a bad way or a good way.

Paul's concern was not with the content of the gospel being preached, only with the motives of those who preached. He objected if he thought a false or distorted gospel was being preached, even from the best of motives. (Galatians 1:6 – 9)

If the true gospel was being preached, he didn't care about the person's motives. God will deal with the person who had bad motives. But he didn't care how good the motives are if the gospel was wrong! One who is preaching a false gospel is dangerous!

Paul's imprisonment nor the wrong motives of some could not stop God's work from being done. And that was cause for rejoicing.⁶

Those preaching the gospel out of bad motives were hypocrites, but Paul is more agitated when the gospel that is taught is defective than when the people who are preaching have defective motives.

So, we should rejoice that God can override prison and poor motives to advance His cause, and value the truth of the gospel more highly than the attutudes of those who preach it.⁷

Compare the motives of the two groups described in verses 15 - 18⁸

19 for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[d]⁹

Through your prayers – He was satisfied that the Philippians would be praying for him in his situation.

Provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ – He expected the Spirit to help him in his infirmities and to furnish him with the wisdom, prudence and strength of reason that might have been necessary for him in his trials that he had to pass through.¹⁰

20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

For I know … will turn out for my deliverance – Paul knew that the Lord was in control of all events, even though his imprisonment and impending trial before the Emperor made the the situation look rather dark.

Through your prayers – Paul was so confident was because he knew he was in the prayers of the Philippians. His deliverance in that situation was connected to the prayer of the Philippians.

This shows how important prayer is. Without the Philippians' prayers, Paul's deliverance by God would be hindered.

Through your prayers and God's provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ – However it is not the prayer that meets Paul's need, but the provision of the Holy Spirit.

I eagerly expect and hope – These are words of faith. Paul mightly trusted God here, and he first trusted God that he 'will in no way be ashamed'. He believed that God would not cause him to be ashamed or turn against him in the matter.

Although he was imprisoned and awaiting trial, he was confident that he was in the center of God's will. He knew God wasn't punishing him through the adversity.

Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death – Paul also had this trust and admitted to the Philippian Christians that he might not be released, but that he might be martyred instead.

Paul lived his life not to preserve or promote himself, but to glorify Jesus Christ. If Jesus decides that Paul could best glorify Him through laying down his life, Paul would be well pleased by the opportunity.

Still, this would have hit hard on the Philippian who had seen God do many remarkable miracles in Paul's life while he was in Phillippi. (Acts 16:11 – 40.) They may have associated God's glory only with being delivered from your problems rather than being delivered in the midst of those problems.

It is easy for us to dictate to God how He can and cannot glorify Himself in our lives. Paul wisely left that to God.¹¹

21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

This verse amplifies the previous verse, where Paul stated that his spiritual aspiration was to make Christ big in his body. Paul was confident that he was going to be released from prison. He only had two options. What would he do with them? He wanted his body to be a showcase in either option.

'To me' – This is Paul's personal testimony. He's not speaking for anyone else. He's saying “I will define what life an death are to me.” The verbs is were added by the translators.

Therefore the literal idea is: “to live … Christ.” or in formula form: to live = Christ. To live equals Christ. Living for Christ was Paul's ambition. As long as he continued to live, he would live for the purpose of glorifying Christ.

It's also true that what produces a spiritual life is Christ Himself. “When Christ who is our life.” Colossians 3:4¹². The Christian life is Christ moving into believers, so that his life is lived through them. This is far more than imitating Jesus. He is more willing to live His life through us than we are willing to allow Him.

2 Corinthians 4:10, Galatians 1:16.

For Paul, the Christian life was not a hobby, it was his very life. It should be central to everything we do.¹³

Most people focus on the second part of the verse and contemplate the joys of heaven. But what comes before should not be overlooked. Paul's singular aim was to bring glory to Jesus.

It means that we imitate the example of Christ. Everything Christ did, is what Paul wanted to do. The Church benefited from his godly example. “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1. What would Jesus do? That is what we should do.

It also means that we pursue the knowledge of Christ, to know Him better and better each day. Not just a set of facts about Christ, but Christ Himself. Phillipians 3:10 – 11.

It means that we are willing to give up anything that prevents us from having Christ. Philippians 3:7 -9. We cling to the promise in Mark 10:29, 30 that our sacrifices for Jesus' sake will be repaid a hundredfold.

It means that Christ is our focus, our goal and our chief desire. He is the centerpoint of our mind, heart, body and soul, we do everything for His glory.¹⁴

22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

Paul continues to be happy and is confident that the Romans will free him (vs 19). The reasons that he gives are that the Christians at Phillipi are praying for him, and that he knows that they are praying for him to be released. He knows the power of prayer, but he also knows that the Holy Spirit helps us.

Vs 20. Paul doesn't want to be ashamed. His whole desire is to bring honour to Christ, whether or not he is thinking that he might not complete his work for Him, or lack courage before a judge. If he lives, he would continue to serve Christ as an apostle. If he dies, he would be a loyal witness to the strength of his faith.

Vs 21. Paul has the power to live in the right way, because Christ 'lives in him' Galatians 2:20. Therefore the only reason for his life is to bring honour and praise to Christ.

For Paul (and all Christians) death means to be 'at home with the Lord' in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:8. Again, his death would be a witness to his faith. Even his death will help the gospel to spread. A later Christian writer said, 'The blood of martyrs is like the seed of the church'.

Vs 22. If Paul continues to live; he will be able to continue to go on encouraging Christians and establishing new churches. He knows that his work is useful to God. Our work for the Lord is not without value. I Corinthians 15:58.

Vs 23. Paul's desire is to 'leave this life'. The Greek word means 'to move a tent'. He wanted to leave the temporary home of his body for a permanent home in heaven.

Vs 24. What the Christians at Philippi needed was more important to Paul than his own desires. The Philippian church was young. They had many good qualities but had some weaknesses. They were also in danger from false doctrine. Therefore Paul was willing to remain in order to help them.

Vs 25, 26 Paul wanted them to make progress in their faith. They needed to love each other, more. 1:9. And work together more. 2:2. They must also be able to approve the best things. 1:10. As their faith grows, so does their joy.¹⁵

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain – Paul knew that death is not a defeat for a Christian. It is merely a graduation to glory, a net gain.

Paul's death would be a gain in two senses

• It would glorify Jesus.
• He would be in the immediate presence of the Lord.

The idea that Paul could consider death a present gain argues against the idea of 'soul sleep'. This false teaching holds that the believing dead are held in some sort of suspended animation until the resurrection occurs. This also argues against the idea of 'purgatory', which says that the believing dead must be purified through suffering before they come into the presence of God.

This shows that Paul doesn't fear death. Though some may fear dying, no Christian should fear death. If one fears death, their faith would be in a very weak and sickly condition.

If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me – Paul was confident that God intended him to be fruitful. There was no doubt in his mind about that. If he lived it would be a fruitful life.

In a sad contrast, many Christians have not yet come to a place where it's certain that they will bear fruit for the kingdom.

I am torn between the two – Paul was torn between being with the Lord and continuing to minister to the Philippians and others.

I desire to depart and be with Christ – His desire to depart was a strong one. It was a strong longing.

Others have also wanted to die

• Some have wished to die, gripped by the gloom and darkness that leads to suicide.
• Some have been so tired of the world and the cruelty of others that they thought death was better.
• Some have wanted to die in the crisis of some kind of suffering.

Paul's desire to depart had nothing to do with any of these attitudes.

• Going to heaven meant that he would no longer have to deal with sin and temptation.
• Going to heaven meant that he would see those brothers and sisters who had gone to heaven before him.
• It meant being with Christ in a closer and better way than before.

I have a desire to depart – It appears to be a metaphor taken from the commander of a vessel, in a foreign port, who feels a strong desire, to set sail, and get to his own country and family, but this desire is counterbalanced by a conviction that the general interests of the voyage may be best served by a longer stay at the port, although he may at any time weigh anchor and be gone.

Paul knew that if he did depart that the journey would not be long.

But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body – He understood that others still needed him, that his work was not done yet. While allowing for the possibility of his martyrdom, he told the Phillipians that he expected to be spared at that time.

Paul was confident and full of faith, yet he was short of absolute certainty. This lack of absolute certainty is a comfort to us. Even the great apostle did not have a prophet's certainty about the future.

So that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me – His friendship with the Philippians was so close that he knew that they would be rejoicing to see him again.¹⁶

What are Paul's considerations in choosing between life and death (vs 20 – 26)?¹⁷

27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,[e]¹⁸ striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves – The ancient Greek word translated 'conduct' means literally 'to live as a citizen'. Paul was telling the Philippians to be good patriotic citizens of the Kingdom of God. This is a recurring theme through the letter.

Hear about you in my absence – He wanted the Philippians to know that they were accountable before him and would check up on them.

That you stand firm in the one Spirit – Paul wanted to know that the Philippian church stayed together as one body without becoming fragmented and fractionalised.

Striving together as one for the faith of the gospel – Paul wanted their unity to be productive, so that there would be increasing trust and belief in the good news of Jesus Christ among those who already believed and among those who had yet to believe.¹⁹

28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.

Without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you – 'Frightened' – a vivid term in the Greek denoting the uncontrollable stampede of startled horses. In the face of that kind of opposition, Paul wanted the Philippian Christians to have the same kind of boldness he had.

This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed – When Christians are not in any way frightened by those who oppose them that is in itself proof that those who oppose them will be destroyed.

Some other translations use the word 'perdition' – Gr. Apolia – destruction, wasting or damnation. It is also used in Philippians 3:19 and 2 Peter 2:1. Both Judas²⁰ and the Antichrist²¹ are called the 'son of perdition'.

When Christians stand against intimidation, the the flesh and the devil it shows those spiritual enemies that their ultimate destruction is certain. They have no other weapons than fear and intimidation, so when they fail to make us afraid, they have failed completely.

But that you will be saved – When we are not frightened of our spiritual enemies it is also evidence our own salvation. In the Lord we can surprise ourselves with our boldness.²²

29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

There is an attitude among Christians that somehow they are supposed to be exempt from suffering. This says that God allows the suffering in the life of the believer so that they would represent Christ in it. Verse 28 indicated that when we share our faith people will stand against us. We will face opposition when we share our faith.

This is a double gift

• To believe in Christ
• To suffer for His sake.

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ – Suffering is a gift from God. The phrase 'been granted' in the Greek means that that the believer receives suffering as a gift from God. 'Granted' means to 'to give freely or graciously as a favor.' We have been granted the privlege of suffering for Christ. This suffering is under God's sovereign conrol. It's not an accident, nor is it a sign of His punishment.

Suffering with a purpose is a privilege. Suffering in itself is not a privilege, but suffering for Christ is.

'On behalf of Christ' indicates the pinnacle purpose for suffering. It points people to Christ.

Not only to believe on him – Our ability to believe on Christ is a gift from God. Our salvation is dependent on Christ's sacrifice upon the Cross. We contribute nothing to salvation but trust in His Grace.

But also to suffer for him – Some would not face the claims of Christ until they see how a Chrsitian faces deep anguish. A believer undergoing immense adversity but also having an inner orientation will have an impact upon those without Christ.

Nothing is valuable in life until the aim is in Christ. Suffering is not an end in of itself. Pain is not good. But the association of it with suffering for Christ gives it a purpose.

Everything that the believer has of spiritual value is donated from God, even affliction.

We should not treat life on Earth as the ultimate goal of our lives. This isn't our permanent home, we should expect to be opposed.²³

30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

Vs 28. Dangerous unexpected things may happen to the Christians at Philippi. Even then, they have to show courage.

Opponents may include

• Jews now opposed the Christian faith. There were few Jews in Philippi when Paul first visited, but the situation may have changed.
• Gentiles. These include Roman officials whose attitude towards the church was changing.
• False teachers: Those who said that Gentiles must have Jewish circumcision first. 3:23. And those who used God's grace an excuse for allowing all their physical desires to control them. 1:6.

Their opponents will see that they are wrong.

Vs29, 30. Their pain and trouble were gifts of God's grace, when they were on behalf of Christ. It was a sign that their faith was genuine.They were sharing the same struggle as Paul. This was like the great effor of a runner who was trying to win a race. They had seen what had happened to Paul at Philippi. Acts 16. They had also head what Paul had to suffer in prison in Rome.²⁴

For it has been granted to you – It was granted to the Phillipians to believe in Him. In the same ways as the belief was granted to them, so also has the the priviledge to suffer for His sake.

They didn't need to fear hat their present trial (and that of Paul) meant that God had abandomed them. The difficulty was granted to them, not as a punishment, but as one of His workings.

But also to suffer for him – Suffer- Gr. Pasko. This word was used primarily in the sense of persecution. But it's also used of physical sufferings that aren't related to persecution (Acts 28:5 and Matthew 17:15), of suffering under temptation (Hebrews 2:8) and hardships in a general sense (1 Corinthians 12:26 and Galatians 3:4).

Meyer: “Everyone cannot be trusted with suffering. All could not stand the fiery ordeal. They would speak rashly and complainingly. So the Master has to select with careful scrutiny the branches which can stand the knife.”

Meyer: “Look up and take each throb of pain, each hour of agony, as a gift. Dare to thank Him for it. Look inside the envelope of pain for the message it enfolds. It is a rough packing-case, but there is treasure in it.”

since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have – They had the same kind of conflict that Paul had had among them in Philippi and that Paul faced in Rome. This concerned the difficulty of walking right with the Lord and proclaiming the gospel while being persecuted and under attack.

Struggle – Gr. Agon. The root word for agony and agonize.

If the Philippians had Paul's kind of struggle, the could also have Paul's kind of joy and fruit in the midst of it.²⁵

Paul emphasized that his desire for the Philippians was that they remained strong in Christ regardless of whether he was with them or not. A phrase in verse 27 uses the Greek imperative verb form. He also uses the word for 'worthy' Gr. Axios. Add to that imperative (a command) a phrase “worthy of the gospel of Christ” and the sense is that Paul is insisting upon a lifestyle that is 'worthy'. It could be worded like this: Only, let you live in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Contrary to what many would have you believe, what other people observe about our lifestyle does matter.²⁶

What does it mean to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel (vs 27 – 30)?

To what extent have you adopted Paul's attitude toward life and death?

• What are the most difficult circumstances you are presently facing?
• How can Christ be exalted in that situation? ²⁷

3 2 We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.

4 7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.

Out of Christ no one can stand before God. Without grace, there is no peace. The work of this grace won't be perfected until the day or Jesus' return. We should be confident that God will continue his good work. So also that fellow Christians should encourage each other.[a]

Castle 8.01 XY review

XY

Castle returns for an eighth season in an action packed opener. But is it good? Yes, it is good. I particularly like, Alexis being proactive in her father's PI business. However, the addition of another conspiracy to the plot muddies the series arc further. What is going on with Beckett? Otherwise it is a good episode.

The arrangement of consultative processes can be:
sending out regular newsletters via mail or email which feature work health and safety news, information and updates
• regularly updating the volunteer section of its notice board or website with information, including its latest safe work policies and procedures
• having a ‘suggestions’ email box for workers, including volunteers to send suggestions to about ways to work safely and other matters
• holding regular meetings to talk to volunteers about the work they do and how to do it in the safest way
• holding short ‘toolbox talks’ where specific health and safety topics relevant to the task at hand are discussed, and
• through Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs), if requested by workers.



Notifying of serious incident:
the death of a person
• the serious injury or illness of a person, or
• a dangerous incident.

Under the Lake review

Under The Lake

Toby Whithouse writes a rather suspenseful 'base under seige' episode, the first half of a two-parter. There are plenty of good moments, although the idea of the 'ghosts' gives one the shudders. (Certainly, I don't think they're operating the way the Doctor thinks they are, but he has been wrong before). There are many other interesting tidbits, (such as at least two Star Trek references), and some of the characters were well realised. But not all of them. The Corporate guy was a bit grating (definitely one dimensional).

The part where the Doctor tells Clara that there is only room for one him in the TARDIS is good. It is more exciting than the previous two, leaving some questions that I hope will be answered in the next part. (What happens to the Doctor? And what is really behind the 'ghosts'?) Also some that may be answered later. (When does the Doctor go back to the screwdriver? What is Clara's recklessness leading to?) 8/10.
