Philippians 4:17 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Neither would he have any of them to think, as if his commendation of them were any oblique insinuations, with design to draw something more from them; he would have them to understand he did not seek himself, or theirs for his use, (as elsewhere, 1 Corinthians 10:33 2 Corinthians 12:14), but his great intent was, that they themselves might of God's grace have the fruit of their charity they had showed to him, Philippians 1:11, Philippians 4:10; which, in the balancing of the accounts, (by accepting as it were of Christ's will, Proverbs 19:17 Matthew 2:42; Matthew 10:35,36,40), will turn to their best advantage.
