- Recall the beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." How do the concepts in v. 8 align with the actions of a peacemaker?
- Do you hear the echoes of the great commandment in v. 8?
- What happens when you offer alms to someone or to a group that is not actually in need? Is it an empty act?
- Is the city of Philippi the greatest city in the Roman world? Second greatest?
- What part of the Our Father corresponds to v. 19 about supply for our needs?
- Can an ordinary civilian follow in these same footsteps and attitudes of Paul?
It is excellent to think of these things, and through them to become a doer of the Word, God's perfect Torah of freedom.
