John Calvin on Philippians 2:26

26. He longed after you. It is a sign of a true pastor, that while he was at a great distance, and was willingly detained by a pious engagement, he was nevertheless affected with concern for his flock, and a longing after them; and on learning that his sheep were distressed on his account, “Pour l’amour de luy;” — “From love to him.” he was concerned as to their grief. On the other hand, the anxiety of the Philippians for their pastor is here discovered.
