Matthew Poole and continuators on Philippians 1:26

26 That your rejoycing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me, by my coming to you again .

Here, in confidence of being again with them, and staying with them, he expresseth an admirable affection to them, that he can be content for a time to be depriv'd of the glorious sight of Christ, that he might see and serve them, and that under persecution; that they might upon his return to them, more abundantly glory together, nor in themselves, but, Christian-like, in Christ Jesus, the Authour of that Doctrine he had Preached to them, the Captain of their Salvation, and the common Head of Christianity.
