Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain. The gospel is here thus called (John 6:68; Acts 5:20), because — I. BY IT WE ARE BORN INTO A NEW LIFE (1 Peter 1:23). II. It is THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION (2 Corinthians 2:16). III. THEREIN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, IS OFFERED TO US. IV. IT IS A LANTERN TO OUR FEET TO LEAD US TO ETERNAL LIFE. (H. Airay, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. |
