Philippians 4:19 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

My. Paul says, "my God," to imply that God would reward their bounty to His servant, by 'fully supplying' х pleeroosei (G4137)] - literally, full to the full-their every temporal and spiritual "need" (2 Corinthians 9:8), even as they had "fully" supplied his "need" (Philippians 4:16; Philippians 4:18). My Master will fully repay you; I cannot. The Philippians invested their bounty well, since it got them such a return.

According to his riches - the measure of His supply to you will be the immeasurable "riches of His grace" (Ephesians 1:7.)

In glory - the element peculiarly belonging to God, IN which Him rich grace operates, and IN which He will 'supply fully all your need.' "Riches," in the New Testament, is always used with the genitive of the thing, so is not to be joined to "in glory."

By Christ Jesus - by virtue of your being "IN" х en (G1722)] Christ Jesus, the Mediator of all spiritual blessings.
