The Greek word for "filled" (πληρόω, plēroō) implies a completeness or fullness, indicating that believers are to be completely saturated with righteousness. The "fruit" (καρπός, karpos) metaphorically represents the visible outcomes or results of a righteous life. In a historical context, fruit was a common symbol for productivity and evidence of life. Righteousness (δικαιοσύνη, dikaiosynē) in the biblical sense is not merely about moral behavior but is deeply rooted in a right relationship with God. This righteousness is not self-generated but is a result of divine transformation.that comes through Jesus Christ This phrase emphasizes the source of righteousness. It is not achieved by human effort but "comes through Jesus Christ." The preposition "through" (διά, dia) indicates the means or channel by which righteousness is obtained. Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith as the mediator and enabler of righteousness. Historically, this reflects the early Christian understanding that Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are the foundation for a believer's righteous standing before God. Theologically, it underscores the doctrine of imputed righteousness, where believers are declared righteous through faith in Christ.to the glory and praise of God The ultimate purpose of being filled with the fruit of righteousness is "to the glory and praise of God." The Greek word for "glory" (δόξα, doxa) refers to the honor and majesty of God, while "praise" (αἶνος, ainos) denotes verbal expressions of admiration and worship. This phrase highlights the doxological focus of the Christian life, where all actions and transformations in a believer's life are meant to reflect and magnify God's greatness. Historically, this aligns with the Jewish and early Christian understanding that all creation exists to glorify God. It serves as a reminder that the believer's life is not an end in itself but a means to display God's character and works to the world.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/philippians/1.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11) The fruits of righteousness is an Old Testament phrase (see <a href="/proverbs/11-30.htm" title="The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise.">Proverbs 11:30</a>; <a href="/amos/6-12.htm" title="Shall horses run on the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:">Amos 6:12</a>), used also in <a href="/james/3-18.htm" title="And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.">James 3:18</a>; <a href="/hebrews/12-11.htm" title="Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them which are exercised thereby.">Hebrews 12:11</a>. It may mean (as in these last two passages) "righteousness as a result," or (in the common sense of "fruit") the "result of righteousness." As the participle is properly "having been filled," thus referring, not to the future day of Christ, but to the whole time which that day shall complete, the former sense seems preferable. The righteousness which is "through Jesus Christ," "not" (as St. Paul says below, <a href="/philippians/3-9.htm" title="And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:">Philippians 3:9</a>) "our own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God," is clearly the likeness of Christ, and therefore in itself an all-sufficient fruit. Filled with it, we are (see <a href="/ephesians/3-19.htm" title="And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.">Ephesians 3:19</a>) "filled with all the fulness of God." . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/philippians/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 11. - Being filled with the fruits of righteousness. The best manuscripts read "fruit." He prays that their love may abound, not only in knowledge and discernment, but also in the fruit of holy living. The fruit of righteousness is sanctification, which springs from justification, and manifests itself in holy living (comp. <a href="/amos/6-12.htm">Amos 6:12</a>; <a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22</a>). Which are by Jesus Christ; rather, through. The righteousness of God's saints is not that" which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ" (comp. <a href="/john/15-4.htm">John 15:4</a>). The branch lives by the life of the vine; the Christian lives by the life of Christ. It is his life, living in, assimilated by the Christian soul, which brings forth the fruit of righteousness. Unto the glory and praise of God. The righteousness of God's saints, springing from the abiding presence of Christ, shows forth the glory of God. The glory of God is his majesty in itself; praise is the acknowledgment of this majesty by the voice and heart of man.
