Paul acknowledges the Philippians' actions despite previous statements about his contentment in all circumstances. It highlights the importance of gratitude and recognition of others' support, even when one is self-sufficient through Christ.<p><b>You have done well</b><br>Paul commends the Philippians for their actions, suggesting that their support was not only helpful but also morally and spiritually commendable. This phrase reflects the biblical principle of doing good works as an expression of faith (<a href="/james/2-17.htm">James 2:17</a>). It also aligns with the teaching of Jesus about the importance of helping others (<a href="/matthew/25-40.htm">Matthew 25:40</a>).<p><b>To share</b><br>The Greek word used here is "koinonia," which implies fellowship, partnership, and mutual participation. This concept is central to the early Christian community, emphasizing the interconnectedness of believers (<a href="/acts/2-42.htm">Acts 2:42</a>). It reflects the idea of the body of Christ, where each member supports the others (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a>).<p><b>In my affliction</b><br>Paul refers to his hardships, likely including imprisonment and persecution for the sake of the Gospel (<a href="/philippians/1-7.htm">Philippians 1:7, 13</a>). The Philippians' support during these times demonstrates their commitment to the Gospel and to Paul as a leader. This mirrors the call to bear one another's burdens (<a href="/galatians/6-2.htm">Galatians 6:2</a>) and reflects the suffering servant motif seen in Christ's own life (Isaiah 53).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a></b><br>The apostle who wrote the letter to the Philippians while imprisoned.
