"8:1-2). H. Seesemann1 sees no reference to the church's gift in this verse, and
takes 'fellowship' as equivalent to their faith in Christ which the preaching of the
gospel produced on the first day, i.e. the day of their conversion. But with Paul it is
ever the case that 'faith expresses itself through love' (see Gal. 5:6); and love
must ever be embodied in action. Hence the two main interpretations of koinonia
here fuse together. ..."

"From the earliest times, commentators have regarded these few verses from the Epistle to the Philippians as doctrinally very important, and a whole literature has grown up around them. Dr Martin studies the passage partly for its own sake as the quintessence of Pauline thought on the person of Christ, and partly as an example of an early type of Christian literature known as 'cultic' or 'confessional'. He sees it as a carmen Christi, a ..."
