That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
All Commentaries on Philippians 1:26 Go To Philippians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
What does he mean “that your boast may abound?” All there was to glory in was their being established in the faith. This is what it means to boast in Christ, to live rightly…. He means “so that I may have more to boast of in you…. As you improve, I have more to boast of.” .
