But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I know not.
All Commentaries on Philippians 1:22 Go To Philippians 1
Gaius Marius Victorinus
AD 400
He said above “Christ is life for me,” but it was not clear then what life he meant, whether in the flesh or life after death. So now he adds these words pointing directly to this life in the flesh: “If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me.” “What is this fruit of my labor? My labor is the gospel I preach. Its fruit is to bring many to the hope of life and salvation as they in due course begin to have hope in Christ and put faith in the gospel.”
