Matthew Poole and continuators on Philippians 1:19

19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer , and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ .

Rendring a reason of what went before (as the causal particle notes) he doth here oppose his knowledge to the envious Preachers opinion; and his Salvation to the affliction, they did exercise them with, so that he was fully perswaded, that the trouble they had given, or should give to him (though in the nature of the thing it was in a tendency to take him off from the defence of the Gospel, and so to hazard his Soul, or if he stood in defence of it, Nero would persecute him to Death) would upon sure ground work for his good, Rom. 8.28. even the great good, the Salvation of his Soul: yea and for some time (compare v. 25.) the safety of his Life here, Act. 27.34. Heb. 11.7. His Prison should be an Ark to him resting on God's promise, so that he could go on boldly and chearfully in bearing his Testimony to Christ with the helmet of Salvation, Eph. 6.17.

Having an interest in their Prayers as a means of support, which he intimates they would continue to help him with, 2 Cor. 1.11. as much as if he had down right asked an interest in them, Heb. 13.18.

Yea in the use hereof, that he might have a great measure of the Spirit promis'd to those that ask him, Luk. 11.13. he looks higher, not doubting but he shall have a renewed subsidy of Grace continued to him from the same Spirit which is in Christ Jesus his Head, Rom. 8, 9. Gal. 4.6. thereby he should be help'd in his infirmities, Rom. 8.26. 1 Cor. 12.11. and receive Grace for Grace, Ioh. 1.16. out of his fulness, who had not the Spirit by measure, Ioh. 3.34. whereupon whatever his enemies conceited he should have under-supplies secretly communicated like those from the head to ther members which would be effectual and Victorious to delive- him from every evil work, and preserve him to the heavenly Kingdom, 2 Tim. 4.18.
