Paul exhorts them to unity, and to all humbleness of mind, by the example of Christ's humility;12. to a careful proceeding in the way of salvation, that they be as lights to a wicked world, 16. and comforts to him their apostle, who is now ready to be offered up to God. 19. He hopes to send Timothy to them, and Epaphroditus also. But you know The phrase "But you know" indicates a personal and intimate knowledge that the Philippians have of Timothy. The Greek word for "know" here is "ginōskō," which implies a deep, experiential understanding.

In a conservative Christian perspective, this emphasizes the importance of living a life that is a testament to one's faith, visible and known to others. Timothy’s proven worth as a child with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel As a son with the father.--The original construction is curiously broken here. It runs, As a son to a father--as though St. Paul was going to speak of Timothy's dutiful ministration and following of his example; but then the sentence changes, in a characteristic humility, and makes Timothy and himself merely fellow-servants--he served with me in the gospel. If we may judge of Timothy's character from the general character of St. Paul's directions to him in the Pastoral Epistles, and especially the significant exhortation, "Let no man despise thy youth, (1Timothy 4:12), it would seem to have been gentle and warm-hearted rather than commanding. Hence, perhaps, the necessity for this singularly emphatic commendation of him. (Comp. 1Corinthians 16:10, "If Timotheus come, see that he be with you without fear.") . . . Verse 22. - But ye know the proof of him. Ye recognize from your former experience (Acts 16.) his approved character.
