Greek Commentary for Philippians 3:9
First aorist (effective) passive subjunctive with ινα hina of ευρισκω heuriskō At death (2 Corinthians 5:3) or when Christ comes. Cf. Phlippians 2:8; Galatians 2:17. [source]
The objective genitive Χριστου Christou not subjective, as in Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:20; Romans 3:22. Explained further by επι τηι πιστει epi tēi pistei (on the basis of faith) as in Acts 3:16. [source]
Discovered or proved to be. See on Phlippians 2:8. Compare Romans 7:10; Galatians 2:17. [source]
Rev., correctly, a righteousness of mine own. The A.V. would require the article with ἐμὴν mineand assumes the existence of a personal righteousness; whereas Paul says, not having any righteousness which can be called mine. [source]
Rev., better, even that which is of the law; thus bringing out the force of the article which defines the character of that righteousness which alone could be personal, viz., righteousness consisting in the strict fulfillment of the law. [source]
Rev., better, through faith in Christ. Faith as opposed to the law. The change of prepositions, through ( διὰ ) faith, and of ( ἐκ ) the law, as turning on the distinction between faith represented as the medium, and the law as the source of justification, cannot be insisted upon as a rule, since both the prepositions are used with faith, as in Galatians 2:16. Compare Romans 3:30; Romans 5:1. [source]
Contrasted with my own. [source]
Resting upon faith, or on the condition of. Compare Acts 3:16. [source]
