Philippians
The
Philippians felt a very deep interest for the apostle. The scope of the epistle
is to confirm them in the faith, to encourage them to walk as becomes the
gospel of Christ, to caution them against Judaizing teachers, and to express
gratitude for their Christian bounty. This epistle is the only one, among those
written by St. Paul, in which no censures are implied or expressed. Full
commendation and confidence are in every part, and the Philippians are
addressed with a peculiar affection, which every serious reader will perceive.
