Philippians 2:22

Rare praise (Nehemiah 7:2).

as a son with the father—Translate, "as a child (serveth) a father."

served with me—When we might expect the sentence to run thus. "As a child serveth a father, so he served me"; he changes it to "served with me" in modesty; as Christians are not servants TO one another," but servants of God WITH one another (compare Philippians 3:17).

in the gospel—Greek, "unto," or "for the Gospel."
