Rather, “in Christ Jesus,” or “in personal connection with Christ Jesus.” All God’s kindnesses are given to men through Christ, and can be enjoyed by those who are connected with the Saviour. See on 2 Cor. 1:20; Eph. 2:4-7.
His riches.
These riches are limitless (Ps. 24:1; 50:10-12; Haggai 2:8), and out of this abundance God is well able bountifully to compensate the Philippians for what they have given to Paul.
Supply.
Literally, “fulfill,” that is, God will supply to the full any needs the Christian might have. Elijah in exile was sustained by ravens (1 Kings 17:6). The lives of the three young men were preserved in the fiery furnace (Dan. 3:27). God’s angels serve as ministering spirits to supply the needs of those who shall be heirs of salvation (Heb. 1:14). In the last days, immediately prior to the coming of Christ, when conditions are severe, the bread and water of God’s people will be sure (see on Isa. 33:16). None who serve the Lord need fear that He will leave them uncared for. Those who seek first the kingdom of God will have all things needful added to them (see on Matt. 6:33).
My God.
Paul had accepted the offering as made, not to himself, but to the God whose minister he was. Now he says in effect, “God will accept your offerings as made to Him. You have supplied my need; He will supply every need of yours.” Whether the need be spiritual or temporal, God will withhold no good thing from the righteous (see Ps. 84:11). For Noah and his family a way of escape from the Flood was provided (Gen. 7:1). Israel was preserved during forty years of desert wandering (Deut. 29:5).
In glory.
Some refer this phrase to the “riches,” as riches that are stored “in glory,” that is, in heaven. Others connect “shall supply” and “in glory,” and imply that the reward will be given in the hereafter. This second view tends to restrict God’s working, whereas the Lord is well able to supply the Christian’s need in this life as well as in that which is to come.
