20. Fellowship of the Spirit
Philippians 2:1 … if any fellowship of the Spirit… [kjv]
The Greek word for "
fellowship" means "
community" and
not "
partnership" or "
covenant".
Paul used "
citizenship", or "
conversation" in the
KJV (King James Version), a few verses before and will use it in the next chapter.
1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: … [kjv]
3:20 For our conversation is in heaven… [kjv]
The Philippians valued their Roman citizenship.
21. If part to then part
Philippians 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, [kjv]
Paul then continues with the conclusion of the "
bottom-up" sequence of "
if" statements.
22. Philippians 1:27
KJV: Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Greek: μονον αξιως του ευαγγελιου του χριστου πολιτευεσθε ινα ειτε ελθων και ιδων υμας ειτε απων ακουσω ακουω τα περι υμων οτι στηκετε εν ενι πνευματι μια ψυχη συναθλουντες τη πιστει του ευαγγελιου
23. Philippians 3:20
KJV: For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Greek: ημων γαρ το πολιτευμα εν ουρανοις υπαρχει εξ ου και σωτηρα απεκδεχομεθα κυριον ιησουν χριστον
24. Philippians 2:2
Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. [kjv]
The English "
joy" is "
favor" in the Greek.
Paul appears to be saying "
I did a favor to you by writing this. Now do me a favor." (and do what you are supposed to be doing).
The repeated use of "
one" throughout the letter indicates that the church (and leaders) are going in different (and incorrect) directions.
25. Bowels of Jesus Christ
Philippians 1:8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. [kjv]
μαρτυς γαρ μου ο θεος ως επιποθω παντας υμας εν σπλαγχνοις ιησου χριστου ιησου [gnt]
testis … visceribus … [v]
|
Jesus
|
church
|
 |
 |
prudent
|
wise
|
gut feeling
|
head knowledge
|
active
|
passive
|
The Greek for passive "
record" is that of being an active "
witness".
The Greek word for "
bowels" has to do with an active "
gut feeling"or being "
prudent" with "
street smarts" rather than passive "
wisdom" that is "
head knowledge".
26. Philippians 1:8
KJV: For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Greek: μαρτυς γαρ μου εστιν ο θεος ως επιποθω παντας υμας εν σπλαγχνοις ιησου χριστου ιησου
Latin: testis enim mihi est Deus quomodo cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Christi Iesu
27. Like minded
Philippians 2:2 …, that ye be like minded, …, of one mind. [kjv]
The Greek for "
minded" or "
mind" is that of being prudent, sensible and making trade-offs for the best overall success.
At Philippi, there appear to be many "
opinions" on what should be and is being done - and not all are in line with Christ.
28. One accord
Philippians 2:2 … being of one accord, …. [kjv]
The Greek for "
accord" is that of having the "
same soul" as in the first part of the word "
psychology".
Aristotle defined the Greek for "
soul" as actualizing a potential. Thus, to Aristotle, a plant had a "
soul".
From that point of view, "
one accord" is "
one ongoing purpose".
The English word
"accord" comes from the Latin word
"accordo" ≈ "be heart to heart with" from the Latin word
"cor" ≈ "heart".
29. One accord
Philippians 2:2 … being of one accord, …. [kjv]
The
KJV translation of this verse is the source of some jokes that it involved a Honda
Accord (a model of car).
Being of one accord.
Even David had his Triumph.
30. Philippians 2:2
KJV: Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Greek: πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες
31. First law
Being "
like-minded" requires both loving God and loving neighbor (as yourself).
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [kjv]
32. Like-minded
In being "
like-minded", one should seek to "
imitate" Christ and not "
impersonate" Christ.
33. Review
Philippians 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, [kjv]
2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. [kjv]
Restated.
If Christ is important to you, then return my favor and be like Christ, having the same heart, love and mind.
34. Matthew 22:37
KJV: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy haert, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Hebrew: ויאמר ישוע אליו ואהבת את יהוה אלהיך בכל לבבך ובכל נפשך ובכל מדעך׃
Greek: ο δε ιησους ειπεν εφη αυτω αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου εν ολη τη καρδια σου και εν ολη τη ψυχη σου και εν ολη τη διανοια σου
