About Philippians 1Paul thanks God for the Philippians' "fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now," confident "that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it." His bonds have furthered the gospel, and whether Christ is preached "in pretence, or in truth," he rejoices. "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain," he writes, but he expects to stay for their sake, and urges them to stand fast "in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel."
