Philippiens 1:30 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 1:30

Having the same conflict
For it seems that the Philippians were now under persecution for the Gospel of Christ; but this was no new or strange thing; it was the same the apostle was under formerly, and at that time:

which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me;
when he and Silas were at Philippi, and first preached the Gospel there, they were exceedingly ill used, and shamefully entreated; they were dragged to the market place, or court, were beaten and scourged, and put into the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks, ( Acts 16:19 Acts 16:22-24 ) ( 1 Thessalonians 2:2 ) ; of all this the Philippians were eyewitnesses, and to which he here refers when he says, which ye saw in me; and now he was a prisoner at Rome, as they had heard, hence he says, "and now hear to be in me"; for they had sent Epaphroditus to him with a present, as a token of their love to him, and to support him under his affliction; and which he mentions, in order to animate them to bear their sufferings patiently for Christ's sake, since the same were accomplished in him, as well as in the rest of their brethren and fellow Christians in the world.

Philippiens 1:30 In-Context

28 sans vous laisser aucunement effrayer par les adversaires, ce qui est pour eux une preuve de perdition, mais pour vous de salut; et cela de la part de Dieu,

29 car il vous a été fait la grâce, par rapport à Christ, non seulement de croire en lui, mais encore de souffrir pour lui,

30 en soutenant le même combat que vous m'avez vu soutenir, et que vous apprenez maintenant que je soutiens.
