Philippians 2:17,18 - Be glad and rejoice

2:17

Paul’s focus on himself continues, and does so because of the close relationship he has with the Philippians. The Philippians knew that Paul was in a perilous situation, and he reassures them again that this should in no way discourage them. They must continue to devote themselves to Christ. Even if the result for Paul is death (“being poured out like a drink offering”), he is glad and rejoices with the Philippians.


2:18

So Paul is coping fine with his circumstances, the Philippians should be able to do so as well. The key is to focus on Christ, and carrying out His mission. The Philippians should be glad and rejoice.
