And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
All Commentaries on Philippians 1:25 Go To Philippians 1
Gaius Marius Victorinus
AD 400
Truly like a father, like a servant of God, he has renounced that one of his two desires which was to be more profitable to himself alone, namely, that he should now depart and be with Christ…. He says “I shall remain,” and he adds the stronger form “I shall continue.” This means: “I shall stay until the completion, that is, the completion of your progress, so that you may obtain grace. Thus when you present your faith, you may receive grace from God.”
