Philippians 2:24

2:24 though I am confident in the Lord that I too will be coming to see you ¹  soon.

Philippians 1:12

Ministry as a Prisoner

1:12 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, ²  that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel: ³ 

Philippians 1:27

1:27 Only conduct yourselves ⁴  in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that – whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent – I should hear that ⁵  you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel, ⁶ 

[2:24]  ¹ tn The words “to see you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied, and are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[1:12]  ² tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).

[1:12]  ³ tn Grk “for the advance of the gospel.” The genitive εὐαγγελίου (euangeliou) is taken as objective.

[1:27]  ³ tn Grk “live as citizens.” The verb πολιτεύεσθε (politeuesqe) connotes the life of a freeman in a free Roman colony.

[1:27]  ⁴ tn Grk “the things concerning you, [namely,] that.” The ὅτι (Joti) clause is appositional to τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν (ta peri Jumwn) and therefore “the things concerning you” was not translated.

[1:27]  ⁵ tn The phrase “the faith of the gospel” could mean one of three things: “the faith that is the gospel” (genitive of apposition), “the faith that originates from the gospel” (genitive of source), or “faith in the gospel” (objective genitive).
