And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
All Commentaries on Philippians 1:9 Go To Philippians 1
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
He wishes, with God’s assistance, to pour into them pure Christian doctrine, that their faith will be firm and that they will see clearly all the vast implications of their faith. He wants them to be able to distinguish what is useful from what is useless. He prays that they may adorn the teaching of the Lord with works of righteousness, producing the fruit of immortality to bring about an abundance of good things. This will be the glory of the apostle to the Gentiles.
