Links to Exegeted Chapters of Philippians

I need to double-check all links here and in Galatians Hebrews and Acts; maybe all of them

The chapters listed below are exegeted word-by-word, verse-by-verse.

This document has been updated February 17, 2025. So far, there are 645 pages in the chapter-by-chapter commentary (this is Philippians 1–4).

So far, the first drafts of Philippians 1–4 have been completed. I have not done the introduction to this book yet. Although there will be three different studies of this book at some point in time, right now, there is just this chapter study.

These files can also be accessed individually via the links below or from within the Philippians folder: http://kukis.org/Philippians/

Writing with WordPerfect

I mention the word processing program WordPerfect several times in this document. I use WordPerfect for all of my writing; and I use this program rather than Word for many reasons:

(1)	I can have more than one keyboard; so I have Greek and Hebrew keyboards. When I was a math teacher, I also had a math keyboard. This does not mean that I have three separate physical keyboards, but that, while writing, I can easily switch from writing in English to writing in Greek (or in Hebrew). Word allows for only one keyboard.

(2)	I find the WordPerfect macros system to be easier to use.

(3)	I can convert from a WordPerfect document into an HTML document, a PDF document and a Word document directly from the WP program. Each requires one-click.

(4)	I find it much easier to arrange my personal writing environment in WordPerfect.

(5)	WordPerfect is much cheaper than Word; especially if an older program is purchased (WP is updated every 18 months).

I have not yet begun to produce these weekly lessons.

If you download the *.wpd document (s), they may download with the *.htm extension (don't ask me why); you must change this extension and they will become normal WP documents in every respect. At some point in time, everything found in these weekly studies will be transferred over to the chapter-by-chapter studies. The weekly studies are designed for the average Bible student. The chapter-by-chapter studies (like those listed below) are designed for research (pastor teachers, commentators, missionaries, Sunday School teachers).

To help you distinguish between the three tracks of study which I have done in the book of Philippians. At this point in time, there are only two studies on this book.
The weekly lessons for Philippians have not yet been started. They will start as soon as I complete the books of Luke and Acts. At that time, I will also put together an abbreviated study of Philippians as well (where everything will be in one document, without the Greek tables, at perhaps 100–200 pages).
The Two Studies in Philippians
Brief Verse-by-verse	Weekly Lessons/Study	Chapter Study
All of the verses are discussed in a single document.	These are sent out by email once a week to those who request them.	These lessons are organized by chapter and posted on my website only.
The completed book will be about 20–25 pages long.	The lessons are 4–5 pages each and designed to be read at one sitting.	In its finished form a single chapter may be anywhere from 100–300 pages long.
This is designed for the believer to get a quick overall understanding of the book of Philippians.	Designed for the average believer, evangelists, and Sunday school teachers.	Designed for research for pastors, other commentators, seminary students, evangelists, and Sunday school teachers. The document is designed to make it easy to find specific verses and sections.
Once each new chapter is completed in the chapter-by-chapter study, the entire chapter will be reviewed and discussed briefly verse-by-verse. This abbreviated study will be used in this single document.	Even though these are less extensive than the chapter studies, these lessons are by no means dumbed down.

Every 25 lessons or so are bundled up and posted on my website into groups of 100 lessons each.	Once a chapter has been completed in the weekly lessons, all of those notes are transferred into the chapter-by-
chapter studies. A completed chapter study has each verse exegeted word-by-word; with 3 original translations, original commentary, and well-organized groups of other translations (culled out from about 100 translations). I have begun to include some commentary from a handful of commentators.
Philippians 1–2 in the chapter study is 11 pages long and designed to be easily navigated.	Philippians 1 in these weekly lessons is 186 pages long, broken down into 38 lessons.	Philippians 1–2 in the chapter study is 355 pages long and designed to be easily navigated.

I have included 2 Completion Charts, and these are very much for my own benefit so that I can see what I have completed and what I still need to work on. The asterisk (*) indicates that some additional commentary has been added in.

It is not unusual for a chapter in Philippians to run 100+ pages. Therefore, it may take longer for them to load in your computer's memory. If memory is a problem, go to the HTML documents, which are much smaller by comparison. And in any case, you are always welcome to download the material for study.

Although the Word Perfect documents load up and show as *.wpd documents; when downloaded, the extension changes to *.htm (don't ask me why). Just change the extension using Windows Explorer or some other file management program. If the WP document is saved as a zip file, then you would just download it and unzip it.

For whatever reason, when you download a WPD from my site, it may have an HTM extension (I do not know why). When you manually change the extension to *.wpd, it will behave exactly as a WordPerfect document. The WPD files which are stored as zip files don't require anything other than downloading and unzipping. If you download these files, check the dates and download the latest version.

Although I would love to consult other commentators sometime in the future, Philippians as written may represent just how far I am able to go in those chapters of Philippians (I may not have time to round it out by referencing other commentators).

For the few of you who use WordPerfect (which is the original format of my work), if you download one of my chapters as a *.wpd file, the extension might change into *.htm. If that is the case, on your computer, manually change it back to a *.wpd file (using whatever file manager you use), and it will behave exactly like a WordPerfect document. I cannot explain why this happens.

* By doctrinal teacher, I mean a man whose primary focus is the teaching of the Word of God, verse-by-verse and book by book. A believer under the teaching of such a man should fully understand the gospel and rebound after less than a month in attendance.

When it comes to teaching, I should think that a 45 minute teaching session would be the bare minimum; and that, at least 3x a week (with provisions for getting teaching in some way on the other days of the week). Although this man may interact or even learn from other teachers, he should clearly be the authority over his church; and the authority over him is the Word of God and God the Holy Spirit (Who guides the pastor in his study).

ICE teaching would also be a part of the package, ICE being an acronym standing for Isagogics (a teaching of the history of that time in order to understand a passage), Categories (a study of categories of Bible doctrine), and Exegesis (a close study of each passage).
