Albert Barnes Commentary Philippians 1:4

"always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy," — Philippians 1:4 (ASV)

Always. There is much emphasis in the expressions used here. Paul labors to show them that he never forgot them; that he always remembered them in his prayers.

In every prayer of mine. This was a proof of particular and special affection, that while there were so many objects demanding his prayers, and so many other churches that he had founded, he never forgot them. The person or object that we remember in every prayer must be very dear to the heart.

For you all. Not for the church in general, but for the individual member. "He diligently repeats the word all, so that he might show that he loved them all equally well, and so that he might more successfully prompt them to demonstrate the same love and benevolence." Wetstein.

Making request with joy. With joy at your consistent walk and benevolent lives—mingling thanksgiving with my prayers because of your holy walk.
