Models for Ministry

2:19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be encouraged by hearing news about you.

Filipi 3:10

3:10 My aim is to know him, ¹⁸  to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, ¹⁹  and to be like him in his death,

[4:10]  ¹ tn Grk “for you were even concerned, but you lacked opportunity.”

[1:26]  ² tn Grk “your boasting may overflow in Christ Jesus because of me,” or possibly, “your boasting in me may overflow in Christ Jesus.” BDAG 536 s.v. καύχημα 1 translates the phrase τὸ καύχημα ὑμῶν (to kauchma jJumwn) in Phil 1:26 as “what you can be proud of.”

[1:26]  ³ tn Grk “through my coming again to you.”

[2:28]  ⁴ tn Grk “I have sent him to you with earnestness.” But the epistolary aorist needs to be translated as a present tense with this adverb due to English stylistic considerations.

[2:28]  ⁵ tn Or “when you see him you can rejoice again.”

[2:25]  ⁶ tn Grk “But.” The temporal notion (“for now”) is implied in the epistolary aorist (“I have considered”), for Epaphroditus was dispatched with this letter to the Philippians.

[2:25]  ⁷ tn Grk “my brother” instead of “For he is my brother.” Verse 25 constitutes one sentence in Greek, with “my brother…” functioning appositionally to “Epaphroditus.”

[2:25]  sn The reason why Paul refers to Epaphroditus as his brother, coworker, fellow soldier, etc., is because he wants to build up Epaphroditus in the eyes of the Philippians, since Paul is sending him back instead of Timothy. This accent on Epaphroditus’ character and service is implied in the translation “For he is…”

[2:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “apostle.”

[2:25]  ⁹ tn The Greek word translated “minister” here is λειτουργός (leitourgo").

[2:25]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “servant of my need.”

[2:16]  ¹¹ tn Or “holding out, holding forth.”

[2:15]  ¹² tn Or “as stars in the universe.”

[3:11]  ¹³ tn On εἰ πῶς (ei pws) as “so, somehow” see BDAG 279, s.v. εἰ 6.n.

[1:6]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “since I am sure of this very thing.” The verse begins with an adverbial participle that is dependent on the main verb in v. 3 (“I thank”). Paul here gives one reason for his thankfulness.

[1:6]  ¹⁵ tn The referent is clearly God from the overall context of the paragraph and the mention of “the day of Christ Jesus” at the end, which would be redundant if Christ were referred to here.

[1:6]  ¹⁶ tn Or “among.”

[1:6]  ¹⁷ tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but has been supplied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[3:10]  ¹⁸ tn The articular infinitive τοῦ γνῶναι (tou gnwnai, “to know”) here expresses purpose. The words “My aim is” have been supplied in the translation to emphasize this nuance and to begin a new sentence (shorter sentences are more appropriate for English style).

[3:10]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “to know him, the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.”
