Philippians 1:5

For your fellowship [ε π ι τ η κ ο ι ν ω ν ι α υ μ ω ν]. Connect with I thank God. For fellowship, see on 1 John 1:3. The word sometimes has the meaning of almsgiving, contributions, as Romans 14:26; Hebrews 13:16. Though here it is used in the larger sense of sympathetic cooperation, yet it is no doubt colored by the other idea, in view of the Philippians' pecuniary contributions to Paul. See ch. Philippians 4:10; Philippians 4:15; Philippians 4:16.
