Philippians - Verse-by-Verse Biblical Exegesis

material needs. (P. O’Brien)
God supplies logistical grace constantly and unconditionally to every believer, + or -, winner or
loser. Each one has a "portfolio of invisible assets," a synonym for the riches of grace God has
lavished upon us. A portfolio is a term for the holdings of an investor. (R.B. Thieme, Jr.) Spiritual
reward is what spurs men in the ministry and holds them to it. (A.T. Robertson) Since God is infinite
in glory, God can give to an unlimited number of needs and still have an infinite supply left. When
God gives to His obedient children, He gives according to His infinite riches of glory. God has not
promised to give out of His riches. He has promised to give according to his riches in glory. Thus the
child of God cannot have a need too great for God to supply. (J. Pentecost)
God would reciprocate to the Philippians. They had met Paul’s needs and now God would meet
theirs. God would not only bless them out of or from His bounty but also in accordance with it. (R.
Lightner) Paul hastens to assure them that they have not impoverished themselves in giving so
liberally to the cause of the Gospel. They filled full Paul's every need to overflowing. God will do
the same for them. (K. Wuest) He doesn’t say all their wants – he doesn’t include luxury items – but
all their needs. However, He does supply luxury items many times. When He does, it is surplus. He
does it out of His loving-kindness. (J. McGee)
Philp. 4:19 Now (post-positive conj.) my (Gen. Rel.) God
(Subj. Nom.) shall fill up the deficiency (plhro,w, FAI3S,
Progressive & Gnomic; will continue to do so) for your (Poss.
Gen.) every (Acc. Spec.; how many) need (Acc. Dir. Obj.;
logistical grace support, money in exchange for doctrine in
the soul; they may have had a 'cash flow problem' due to
their offering) according to His (Poss. Gen.) wealth (Adv.
Acc.; an infinite supply of divine capital) in glory (Loc.
Place; refers to the eternal status of God) in Christ Jesus
(Loc. Sph.).
