‏ Philippians 1:5

 For your fellowship ( επ τη κοινωνια υμων ). "On the basis of your contribution" as in 2Co 8:4; 9:13; Ac 2:42. The particular kind of "partnership" or "fellowship" involved is the contribution made by the Philippians for the spread of the gospel (1:7  συγκοινωνους and 4:14 where  συγκοινωνησαντες occurs).

 In furtherance of the gospel ( εις το ευαγγελιον ). "For the gospel."

 From the first day until now ( απο της πρωτης ημερας αχρ του νυν ). As when in Thessalonica (Php 4:15f.), in Corinth (Ac 18:5; 2Co 11:7-10), and now in Rome.
