ACC ~ Philippians 3 v17
YOU KNOW MY MANNER OF LIFE. CHRYSOSTOM: Remember above when he said âbeware of dogsâ and drew them away from those people? Now he directs them to what they ought to imitate. âIf anyone,â he says, âwishes to imitate me and tread the same path, let him hold fast to the faithful. And even if I am not present, yet you know my manner of walkingâthat is, my way of acting, speaking and living.â For he taught them not through words only but also through deeds. In a chorus or a military camp you expect the others to imitate the director or the general. They should walk in the same good order. Otherwise the line can be broken by conflict.
