This entry is part [part not set] of 3099 in the series Daily Words for the Christian Life
But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
—Philippians 2:17–18
The Greek word for “rejoice” here is chaírô (Strong, no. 5463), which is the root word for cháris (Strong, no. 5485), the Greek word for “grace.” This joy and rejoicing issues from the enjoyment of grace.
Adapted from Philippians: That I May Gain Christ,
by Titus Chu; page 136.
