Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary. 3:1-11 Sincere Christians rejoice in Christ Jesus. The prophet calls the false prophets dumb dogs, Isa 56:10; to which the apostle seems to refer. Dogs, for their malice against faithful professors of the gospel of Christ, barking at them and biting them. They urged human works in opposition to the faith of Filipenses 2:6-11 Meaning and Commentary INTRODUCTION TO PHILIPPIANS 2 This chapter contains several exhortations to unity, love, and concord, to humility, and lowliness of mind, and to a becoming life and conversation; and concludes with commendations of two eminent ministers of Christ, Timothy and Epaphroditus.

Verses 3-8: Paul’s thanksgiving: 1) His memory of Philippians (vv. 3, 4) – He prays for them with joy. 2) Their partnership in service (v. 5) – Joint-participation, it is a continuous thing from the first day until now. 3) Work of grace in them (vv. 6-8) – good work, work of grace. Verses 9-11:

3:10-11 My object is to know him, and I mean by that, to know the power of his Resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, while I continue to be made like him in his death, if by any chance I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
