John Calvin 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 will supply. Some read impleat — in the optative — May he supply. While I do not reject this reading, I approve more of the other.

He expressly makes mention of God as his, because he owns and acknowledges as done to himself whatever kindness is shown to his servants. They had therefore been truly sowing in the Lord’s field, from which a sure and abundant harvest might be expected.

Nor does he promise them merely a reward in the future life, but even regarding the necessities of the present life: “Do not think that you have impoverished yourselves; God, whom I serve, will abundantly furnish you with everything necessary for you.”

The phrase in glory, should be understood as equivalent to the adverb “gloriously,” meaning magnificently or splendidly. He adds, however, by Christ, in whose name everything that we do is acceptable to God.
