Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
All Commentaries on Philippians 1:24 Go To Philippians 1
Cyprian of Carthage
AD 258
Behold another joy of ours, that, in the duty of your episcopate, although in the meantime you have been, owing to the condition of the times, divided from your brethren, you have frequently confirmed the confessors by your letters; that you have ever afforded necessary supplies from your own just acquisitions; that in all things you have always shown yourself in some sense present; that in no part of your duty have you hung behind as a deserter.
