The Believers’ Support to the Apostle

The apostle Paul wrote the book of Philippians while he was in prison, but his concern was not related to his imprisonment. Rather, Paul was concerned about the Philippian believers’ attitude and for the kind of spirit they had toward him. In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Philippians, Witness Lee fellowships concerning the apostle’s entreaty to the believers in Philippians 2:2. “Paul was not troubled by his imprisonment, but he was troubled by the situation among the believers in Philippi. He was very concerned about their spiritual condition. Therefore, Paul appealed to the Philippians to make him happy to the uttermost. Paul needed their encouragement, consolation, and fellowship to be a support to him. If the Philippians would render him such support, they would make his joy full.”
