Verse of the Day (September 14, 2019) – Paul knows that encouragement, participation in the Spirit, affection, and sympathy are realities in Christ and are present in the congregation at Philippi. He uses a conditional sentence (if) to lead the Philippians to reflect on whether these qualities are evident in their lives. Of the same mind, they are to use their different gifts (see 1 Corinthians 12) in a cooperative way, focusing on God’s glory. (ESV Global Study Bible) #BMSeminary
