19. turn to my salvation--"turn out to me for, (or
unto) salvation." This proclamation of Christ every way will
turn out to my spiritual good. Christ, whose interests are my
interests, being glorified thereby; and so the coming of His kingdom
being furthered, which, when it does come, will bring completed "SALVATION"
(Heb 9:28)
to me and all whose "earnest expectation"
(Php 1:20)
is that Christ may be magnified in them. So far is their preaching from
causing me, as they thought, tribulation in my bonds
(Php 1:16).
Paul plainly quotes and applies to himself the very words of the
Septuagint
(Job 13:16),
"This shall turn out to my salvation," which belong to all God's people
of every age, in their tribulation (compare
Job 13:15).
through your prayer and the supply--The Greek intimately joins
the two nouns together, by having but one preposition and one article:
"Through your prayer and (the consequent) supply of the Spirit of
Jesus Christ (obtained for me through your prayer)."
