Commentary on Philippians 1:24

Theological / Devotional

In the flesh. That is, tied to earthly, fleshly life.

More needful for you. The antithesis of “far better” (v. 23). Paul allows the Philippians’ need to outweigh his own desire. The church needed his personal guidance and the inspiration of his dedicated life. This need was the decisive factor in the apostle’s thinking.
