26 PHILIPPIANS [l. 20, 21 clauses, which are to the following effect: i. Christ will be magnified, though Paul shall refuse to modify his preaching and shall continue to proclaim the gospel with all boldness. 2. Christ's being magnified in spite of opposition will be nothing new. It has always been so. 3. The result will be the same whether Paul shall live or die. €1/ iraarj : in contrast with,as I Jn. ii. 28 ; LXX, Prov. xiii. 5. The primary meaning oi is 'free and bold speaking ' ; speaking out every word {,). The verb always in N.T. in connection with speaking. The dominant idea of is boldness, confidence. (See 2 Cor. iii. 12, vii. 4 ; Eph. vi. 19 ; i Thess. ii. 2 ; Philem. 8 ; and Lightf. on Col. ii. 15.) It is opposed to fear (Jn. vii. 13), and to ambiguity or reserve (Jn. xi. 14). The idea of publicity sometimes attaches to it, but as secondary (Jn. vii. 4). »;, the direct opposite of ovZtvl ; every way in which boldness can mani- cjs€ : 'As always, so now.' Kat in the apodosis fest itself. (Comp. Eph. vi. 18.) Christ will be magnified in his bold and uncompromising preaching of the unpalatable truth. answers to in the protasis. (See Mt. vi. 10; Jn. vi. 57; Gal. i. 9 ; I Jn. ii. 18; Win. liii. 5.) It is the testimony of history that Christ has always been magnified in spite of opposition. As Paul's imprisonment has, up to this time, ministered to the progress of the gospel (vs. 12), he is no less confident of the same result now that his fate is hanging in the balance. ctTc etVe : " Inimicis suis insultat, quod ei nocere non valeant. Si enim eum occiderint, martyrio coronabi- tur. Si servaverint ad Christum annunciandum, plurimum facient fructum" (Jer.). The last words lead him to speak of his own feelings respecting the possible issue of his trial. ' 21. yap : For to me to live is Christ.' For Paul ? life is summed up in Christ. Christ is its inspiration, its aim, its end. To ., trust, love, obey, preach, follow, suffer, — all things are with and in Christ. So Theoph. , 6 , ^^, : " kind of new life I live, and Christ is all things to me, both breath and life and light." See further on iv 20, 21 ; Rom. vi. 11 ; Gal. ii. Ign. Eph. iii., 6 20; (ch. iii. 9), and comp. iii. 7-10, 2 Cor. v. 15 ; Col. iii. 3. Also , Our inseparable life'; and Mag. i, , Our never- failing life.' To is the continuous present. In the three other passages of Paul in which it occurs (vs. 22 ; Rom. viii. 12 ; 2 Cor. i. 8), it denotes the process, not the principle, of life.
I. 21, 22] WHETHER TO LIVE OR DIE ? 2/ TO : ' to die is gain ; because it will introduce ' him to complete union with Christ, unhampered by limitations of the flesh. His gain will therefore magnify Christ. (See Rom. viii. - -: 17.) This is in striking contrast with the Stoic apathy which, in proud resignation, leaves all to fate. (See a beautiful passage Pfleiderer, Paiilinisinas, 2 Aufl. p. 219.) 22. ei ro ^ , iv , 0
