Synopsis: Paul makes an impassioned appeal for the humility necessary for true unity in Christ. Unlike the Selfish ambition of his enemies (1:17), partners in the gospel must put the corporate interests over any other motivation. This properly ordered affection allows partners in the gospel of Jesus Christ to increase in humility by pursing the corporate interests over personal ambition.
Synopsis: Paul and the Philippians, though they suffer for Christ, strive for joy-filled, unified living because they are citizens of heaven; the household of God, partners in the gospel and partakers of grace.
