Let's go back to verse 1
“Paul and Timothy, the servants of Christ Jesus, were in Philippi in Christ Jesus.
I am writing to all the priests who live, and to the bishops and deacons.”
In verse 1, Paul tells what kind of person he is, and then
It tells the identity of the people receiving the letter.
Bishops, deacons, and saints are speaking.
The bishop refers to the elder, the deacon refers to the deacon who has been ordained, and the
Next, we are talking about all the saints.

An elder who is an overseer is also an overseer in Christ Jesus.
A deacon is a house built in Christ Jesus.
Also, all the saints should know that they were made in Christ Jesus.
I didn't become a saint because I grew up;
It is not, but the fact that it was made in Jesus Christ.
Of course, bishops are saints, deacons are saints, and saints are saints.
But let's think deeply about the words of the saints here.
Saint
""""
The word "Hagios" ( ) in the Septuagint is Hebrew.
It is a translation of "Kadosh" ( ).
So the saints refer to "holy people" or "separated people."
Distinguished person! (Selection)
holy man! (Identity)
Divided man! (Way)
Together, these are called saints.
And this word of saints is being addressed to the members of the Philippian Church.
To all of our Cheonsan Church...
Also, the word saints is a generic term for those who are used for God.
That is.
That is to say, it means consecration.
