Philippians 4:13

4:13 I am able to do all things ¹  through the one ²  who strengthens me.

Philippians 2:30

2:30 since it was because of the work of Christ that he almost died. He risked his life so that he could make up for your inability to serve me. ³ 

Philippians 1:7

1:7 For ⁴  it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, ⁵  since both in my imprisonment ⁶  and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you became partners in God’s grace ⁷  together with me.

[4:13]  ¹ tn The Greek word translated “all things” is in emphatic position at the beginning of the Greek sentence.

[4:13]  ² tc Although some excellent witnesses lack explicit reference to the one strengthening Paul (so א* A B D* I 33 1739 lat co Cl), the majority of witnesses (א² D² [F G] Ψ 075 1881 Ï sy) add Χριστῷ (Cristw) here (thus, “through Christ who strengthens me”). But this kind of reading is patently secondary, and is a predictable variant. Further, the shorter reading is much harder, for it leaves the agent unspecified.

[2:30]  ³ tn Grk “make up for your lack of service to me.”

[1:7]  ⁵ tn Grk “Just as.” The sense here is probably, “So I give thanks (v. 3) just as it is right for me…”

[1:7]  ⁶ tn Or possibly “because you have me in your heart.”

[1:7]  ⁷ tn Grk “in my bonds.” The meaning “imprisonment” derives from a figurative extension of the literal meaning (“bonds,” “fetters,” “chains”), L&N 37.115.

[1:7]  ⁸ tn The word “God’s” is supplied from the context (v. 2) to clarify the meaning.
