Let your fairness be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
All Commentaries on Philippians 4:5 Go To Philippians 4
Gaius Marius Victorinus
AD 400
Forbearance is individual patience that observes due measure without straining beyond its station. When we live among strangers and live in a way commensurate with our lowliness, God will lift us up. So it is here; we do well to recognize our lowliness. “Therefore let your moderation,” he says, “be known to all.” Why does he tell us this? So that we may make a pleasing show here? No, but so that when Christ comes he may raise up our lowliness and exalt our moderation.
