Philippians2:22
22. Rare praise (Ne 7:2).
as a son with the father--Translate, "as a child (serveth) a father."
served with me--When we might expect the sentence to run thus. "As a child serveth a father, so he served me"; he changes it to "served with me" in modesty; as Christians are not servants TO one another," but servants of God WITH one another (compare Php 3:17).
in the gospel--Greek, "unto," or "for the Gospel."
