Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians: A Revised Text, With Introduction, Notes, and Dissertations

The present volume ia a second instalment of the commentary on St Paul's Epistles, of which I sketched a plan in the preface to my edition of the Galatians. At the same time it is intended, like its predecessor, to be complete in itself; so that the plan, as a whole, may be interrupted at any time without detriment to the parts.

Here again I have the pleasure of repeating my obligations to the standard works of reference, and to those commentators, both English and German, whose labours extend over both epistles and to whom I before acknowledged my debt of gratitude. The special commentaries on this epistle are neither so numerous nor so important, as on the former. The best, with which I am acquainted, are those of Van Hengel, of Rilliet, and of Eadie; but to these I am not conscious of any direct obligation which is not acknowledged in its proper place. I have also consulted from time to time several other more or less important works on this epistle, which it will be unnecessary to specify, as they either lay no claim to originality or for other reasons have furnished no material of which I could avail myself.

It is still a greater gratification to me to renew my thanks to personal friends, who have assisted me with their suggestions and corrections; and to one more especially whose aid has been freely given in correcting the proof-sheets of this volume throughout.

The Epistle to the Philippians presents an easier task to an editor than almost any of St Paul's Epistles.
