Mutual Joy in Christ
Commentators highlight the beautiful reciprocity Paul describes. He is their reason for 'glorying' or boasting, and they are his. Charles Spurgeon notes this is the ideal state for a church—when leaders and members mutually rejoice in one another. This relationship is not only profitable for all involved but also glorifies God, standing in stark contrast to the damage caused by discord and fault-finding.
