Explanation preview
Paul writes from prison to the church at Philippi, and here he begins a series of conditional clauses that lead into his appeal in verse 2. The "if" is not doubt but a gentle way of saying "since these things are true among you." He names four shared gifts: encouragement in Christ, comfort from love, fellowship with the Spirit, and affection and compassion.
