Read in Logos
Philippians 1:6: And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Footnotes

  1. 9 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.
  2. 10 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.
  3. 11 Or “among.”
  4. 12 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.
