What do you feel upod reading the poem about there is a beautiful poem in the letter of paul to philippians2:5-11 that give us an idea about what is christianity is about
Answers
Explanation:
Paul encourages the Philippians to follow the example of Christ's self-humiliation, adopting an attitude of humility shaped by the example of Christ. It is this humility of servant-hood which will reinforce unity within the fellowship and thus produce steadfastness in the face of trouble.
Numerous structural arrangements are proposed for this passage. Lohmeyer's arrangement of the passage in six three line stanzas (Heidelberg 1928) is as good as any and is accepted by many commentators, cf. Silva. See O'Brien for the development of views on the literary form of v6-11. O'Brien follows Hooker who argues that the hymn falls into two parts, v6-8 and v9-11, with the two finite verbs in each section describing Jesus' self-humbling and the Father's action of exalting him. These notes follow the arrangement of verses proposed by Reumann.It is often argued that this passage is not originally from Paul's hand, but that he quotes a poem or hymn. It is of course rather foolish to assume that Paul is incapable of composing high prose / hymn / poetry. None-the-less, it would not be unreasonable for Paul to quote the words of a hymn in a letter. The arguments in favor of v6-11 being a hymn are as follows: i] The passage seems to intrude in the flow of Paul's argument; ii] It is liturgical in style, easily arranged into six stanzas; iii] It contains some six words not commonly used by Paul; iv] Its focus on Christ as the Servant of God is not a common Pauline theme (note the Servant Song echoes, Isa.52:13-53:12).
A quick survey of the many commentaries on Philippians indicates a variety of interpretations of what is one of the most profound passages in the New Testament. The sticking point seems to be Paul's intention / purpose. Of the many answers provided Silva is surely on the right track when he argues that it all comes down to context: "If the opposition being experienced by the Philippians calls for steadfastness, if steadfastness is impossible without spiritual unity, and if unity can come about only from an attitude of humility, then surely Paul must reinforce the critical importance of humility in the heart of believers. And what better way to reinforce this thought than by reminding the Philippians of the attitude and conduct of him to whom they are united in faith? When admonishing the Corinthians to contribute generously for the sake of the poor in Jerusalem, Paul set before them the example of Christ: though he was rich, he became poor on account of you, so that through his poverty you might become rich, 2Cor.8:9. Similarly here he appeals to the spirit of servanthood that brought Jesus to his death - a death which, incidentally, has overflowed in life for the Philippians."
