"salvation" (\s•t•rias\). {And that} (\kai touto\). Idiomatic<br />

adverbial accusative. "It is a direct <strong>in</strong>dication from God. The<br />

Christian gladiator does not anxiously await <strong>the</strong> signal of life<br />

or death from <strong>the</strong> fickle crowd" (Lightfoot).<br />

1:29 {In <strong>the</strong> behalf of Christ} (\to huper Christou\). Literally,<br />

"<strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong> behalf of Christ." But Paul divides <strong>the</strong> idea and uses <strong>the</strong><br />

article to aga<strong>in</strong> both with \pisteue<strong>in</strong>\ and with \pasche<strong>in</strong>\.<br />

Suffer<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> behalf of Christ is one of God's gifts to us.<br />

1Ti 6:12; 2Ti 4:7. The Philippians saw Paul suffer (Ac<br />
