Filippesi 2:18 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 2:18

For the same cause also do ye joy and rejoice with me.
] He would not have them be sorrowful, should they hear of his death for the sake of the Gospel, and of his blood being poured out in such a cause, since it was as a libation on their faith, and for the confirmation of it, and would be gain to Christ, and his interest, and to the apostle also: and therefore they should be so far from indulging grief and sorrow on that account, that they should rather joy and rejoice with him, who was ready to be offered up, or poured out; since he had run out his race, and that not in vain, but to so good a purpose, and especially among them.

Filippesi 2:18 In-Context

16 onde nel giorno di Cristo io abbia da gloriarmi di non aver corso invano, né invano faticato.

17 E se anche io debba essere offerto a mo’ di libazione sul sacrificio e sul servigio della vostra fede, io ne gioisco e me ne rallegro con tutti voi;

18 e nello stesso modo gioitene anche voi e rallegratevene meco.

19 Or io spero nel Signor Gesù di mandarvi tosto Timoteo affinché io pure sia incoraggiato, ricevendo notizie dello stato vostro.

20 Perché non ho alcuno d’animo pari al suo, che abbia sinceramente a cuore quel che vi concerne.
