ACC ~ Philippians 2 v16

HOLD FAST THE WORD OF LIFE. MARIUS VICTORINUS: “I have glory through you because you possess the word of life”—that is, because you know Christ, who is the Word of life, “because what was made in Christ was life.”Therefore Christ is the Word of life. From this we perceive how great is the profit and glory of those who correct the souls of others. EPISTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS 2.16.

THE WORD OF LIFE. CHRYSOSTOM: It means those who hold that they are going to live and are among the saved. See what immediate prizes he sets before them: “The stars,” he says, “possess the principle of light and you the principle of life.” What is this “word of life”? It means having the seed of life, that is, the beginnings of life, possessing life itself. HOMILY ON PHILIPPIANS 9.2.12-16.
