For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
All Commentaries on Philippians 1:5 Go To Philippians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Here he gives them a great testimonial, a truly great one and such as one might give to apostles and evangelists. “The fact that you have been put in charge of one city,” he says, “does not mean that you care for that one alone, but you do everything so as to become partakers of my labors wherever I am. It is as though you are with me everywhere as my coworkers and companions in preaching. Not once, twice or three times but on all occasions, from the time when you believed until now, you have shown the zeal of apostles.” … For the care of the saints is no small thing. It is indeed a great one, for it makes you partakers of the blessings laid up for them. .
