Charles Ellicott Commentary Philippians 4:19

"And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:19 (ASV)

My God.—The expression is emphatic. St. Paul had accepted the offerings as made, not to himself, but to the God whose minister he was. Therefore, he adds, “my God”—the God, whom you serve in serving me.

All your need.—Properly, every need of yours, spiritual and temporal.

In glory.—We have already noticed the constant reference to “glory” in the Epistles of the Captivity. When the word relates to God in Himself, His “glory” is His true nature as manifested to His creatures; when it refers to man, “glory” is the perfection of man’s nature in communion with God in Heaven. Here the latter sense is obviously to be taken. The “supplying of every need out of the riches” of God’s love can only have its consummation in the glory of the future. That it is in Christ Jesus is a matter of course, for He is to change even our body of humiliation to be fashioned like unto the body of His glory (Philippians 3:21).
