Philippians 2:1 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

Php_2:1-4. Unity and Humility. An exhortation based on the help that Christ gives, the word rendered consolation meaning help of various kinds, especially in the form of encouragement. This comes from Christ and so does compassion. The source of them is His love. That should lead to unity of mind, the absence of factiousness always a danger in a Greek community (1 Corinthians 1:10-17 *) and the unselfish humility that gives a preference to the honour and interest of other people.

Philippians 2:1-4

1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
