Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

Philippians 4:19

Since the offering is a sacrifice to God, He will recompense it (cp. Hebrews 6:10; Proverbs 19:17): my God will fill up every need of yours—as you have striven to meet His servant's need—according to his riches. Temporal and spiritual needs are together included in the promise; God's 'wealth' contains all kinds of treasure. In glory points to the heavenly consummation (cp. Romans 2:4; Romans 2:7; Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 1:18), in Christ Jesus to the ground and channel of divine supplies.
