Philippians 1:9
Douay-Rheims
And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
George Leo Haydock
That your charity, &c. It is worthy of remark, that St. Paul does not beg that the Philippians may enjoy temporal blessings, but that they may be rewarded with an increase of spiritual favours; (Calmet) and as he remarks in the succeeding verses, that they may be filled with the fruits of justice.
