Philippians 4:10

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly— The Apostle uses a very skilful way here of commending the generosity of his benefactors; whereby he signifies, not only that they had done their duty, but that the Lord had favoured them, by stirring them up to it; and that they had given him occasion of much thankfulness to the Lord. The original, which we render,Wherein ye were else careful,is doubtful; andmay signify, For whom ye were also careful: or it may be taken, in the sense of our translators,—in which matter ye were careful. St. Chrysostom's explanation of the last clause is, "But you wanted an ability to supply me."
