Comfort associated with love · dominant
In Philippians 2:1, the nominative singular neuter form occurs in a series of conditional expressions. The APB renders the relevant sequence as “if any comfort from love,” alongside encouragement, participation in the Spirit, affection, and compassion.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Philippians 2:1, the APB includes “comfort from love” in its rendering of the clause. That phrase cannot isolate the term's precise English equivalent with certainty.
