Philippians: Overview
Phil 1:1 – Introduction and Paul’s longing to come see them, the gospel is being proclaimed all the more through Paul’s imprisonment
Phil 1:21 – For Paul to live is Christ and to die is gain, the conflict in living and dying
Phil 2:1 – Be like Christ – do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, Timothy and Epaphroditus updates
Phil 3:1 – Paul counts fleshly things a loss and only Christ gain, he presses on toward the upward call of God and looks forward to the day Christ will transform our bodies
Phil 4:1 – Dwell on whatever it true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, excellent and worthy of praise, and Paul is thankful the Philippians support him on his missionary journeys
