tribulations for you, which is your glory.">Ephesians 3:13</a>), points out that his imprisonment tended to further the gospel: first, directly, by the opportunity which it afforded him of preaching, and next, indirectly, by the stimulus which it gave to the preaching of others, whether “of envy and strife” or “of good will.”<p><a name="mhc" id="mhc"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/mhc/philippians/1.htm">Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary</a></div>1:1-7 The highest honour of the most eminent ministers is, to be servants of Christ. And those who are not really saints on earth, never will be saints in heaven. Out of Christ, the best saints are sinners, and unable to stand before God. There is no peace without grace. Inward peace springs from a sense of Divine favour. And there is no grace and peace but from God our Father, the fountain and origin of all blessings. At Philippi the apostle was evil entreated, and saw little fruit of his labour; yet he remembers Philippi with joy. We must thank our God for the graces and comforts, gifts and usefulness of others, as we receive the benefit, and God receives the glory. The work of grace will never be perfected till the day of Jesus Christ, the day of his appearance. But we may always be confident God will perform his good work, in every soul wherein he has really begun it by regeneration; though we must not trust in outward appearances, nor in any thing but a new creation to holiness. People are dear to their ministers, when they receive benefit by their ministry. Fellow-sufferers in the cause of God should be dear one to another.<a name="bar" id="bar"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/barnes/philippians/1.htm">Barnes' Notes on the Bible</a></div>Grace be unto you ... - See the note at <a href="/romans/1-7.htm">Romans 1:7</a>. <a name="jfb" id="jfb"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/jfb/philippians/1.htm">Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary</a></div>2. Grace … peace—The very form of this salutation implies the union of Jew, Greek, and Roman. The Greek salutation was "joy" (chairein), akin to the Greek for "grace" (charis). The Roman was "health," the intermediate term between grace and peace. The Hebrew was "peace," including both temporal and spiritual prosperity. Grace must come first if we are to have true peace.<p>from … from—Omit the second "from": as in the Greek, "God our Father" and "the Lord Jesus Christ," are most closely connected.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/poole/philippians/1.htm">Matthew Poole's Commentary</a></div> The evangelical salutation, as <span class="bld"><a href="/romans/1-7.htm" title="To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.">Romans 1:7</a> <a href="/ephesians/1-2.htm" title="Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.">Ephesians 1:2</a> <a href="/2_peter/1-2.htm" title="Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,">2 Peter 1:2</a></span>; praying for the free and undeserved favour of God the Father to them, as the fountain, <span class="bld"><a href="/james/1-17.htm" title="Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no ficklenss, neither shadow of turning.">Jam 1:17</a></span> together with all inward and outward blessings, flowing thence through Christ the procurer of them. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a name="gil" id="gil"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/gill/philippians/1.htm">Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible</a></div>Grace be unto you,....

Paul feels that the ordinary Greek salutation <span class="greekheb">χαίρειν</span> or the Eastern <span class="greekheb">εἰρήνη σοι</span> is too meagre for Christian intercourse. But closely connected with <span class="greekheb">χαίρειν</span> is his own great watchword <span class="greekheb">χάρις</span>, a word which, perhaps, above all others, shows the powerful remoulding of terms by Christian thought and feeling. <span class="greekheb">χάρις</span> for Paul is the central revelation of the fatherly heart of God in the redemption which Christ has accomplished for unworthy sinners. And its direct result is <span class="greekheb">εἰρήνη</span>, the harmony and health of that life which is reconciled to God through Jesus Christ; see an interesting discussion of the Apostolic greeting by F. Zimmer, <span class="ital">Luthardt’s Zeitschr.</span>, 1886, p. 443 ff. Of course <span class="greekheb">ἀπό</span> governs <span class="greekheb">Κυρίου</span>.

In its true idea, kindness is always present, with the special thought of <span class="ital">entire and marked absence of obligation</span> in the exercise of it. It is essentially unmerited and free. See e. g. <a href="/romans/11-6.htm" title="And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.">Romans 11:6</a>. In its normal application, the word denotes the action of Divine kindness either in the judicial acceptance of the believer “not according to his works,” for Christ’s sake (e.g. <a href="/romans/3-24.htm" title="Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:">Romans 3:24</a>), or in the gift and continuance of new life and power to the believer (e.g. <a href="/1_corinthians/15-10.htm" title="But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed on me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.">1 Corinthians 15:10</a>). And, as the action is never apart from the Agent, we may say that grace in the first reference is “God for us” (<a href="/romans/8-1.htm" title="There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.">Romans 8:1</a>), in the second, “God in us” (below, <a href="/philippians/2-13.htm" title="For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.">Php 2:13</a>).—In the first reference grace is the antithesis to <span class="ital">merit</span>, in the second to <span class="ital">nature</span>.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="ital">our Father</span>] in the new birth and life, which is coextensive with union with Christ the Son.

This combination of the Greek and Hebrew salutations is the common form in St. Paul's earlier Epistles; in the pastoral Epistles "mercy" is added. Grace is the favor of God, free and sovereign, which rests on the faithful Christian, and brings the gift of peace; which is, first, reconciliation with God and, secondly, the childlike confidence and trustful hope which result from faith in Christ's atonement. <span class="cmt_word">From God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ</span>. God the Father is the first Author of our salvation; God the Son, the Word made flesh, brought the message of peace from heaven, and reconciled us to God.
