Contextual Overview

¹⁴ do every thing without murmuring and disputes: ¹⁵ that you may be without reproach, the inoffensive spotless children of God in the midst of a depraved and perverse generation (among whom you should shine as stars in the world, ¹⁶ you, who display the doctrine of eternal life) that in the day of Christ I may have the satisfaction of not having pursued my laborious course in vain. ¹⁷ and if my blood should serve as a libation to ratify your faith, I should rejoice and congratulate with you all thereupon; ¹⁸ and you too should be glad and congratulate me upon that account. ¹⁹ However, I hope by the favour of the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you very soon, that I may have some encouragement by knowing the state of your affairs: ²⁰ for there is no one that is so dear to me as he, and no one will more sincerely interest himself in your concerns. ²¹ the most consult their private advantage, and neglect the dispensation of Jesus Christ. ²² you know he has stood the test, and has serv'd with me in the gospel, as a son serves with his father. ²³ I hope therefore to send him to you as soon as I find what turn my affairs shall take:

1 Corinthians 7:36
if any man thinks it would be a reflexion upon his manhood to be a stale batchelor, and so ought to marry; let him follow his bent, he is at liberty, let such marry.

1 Peter 3:7
You husbands, do you on your part behave with prudence towards your wives: who being of a more delicate make, ought to be treated with the greater tenderness: and consider they are equally intitled to the evangelical gifts, that your prayers may not be frustrated.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the same cause also do ye joy and rejoice with me. He would not have them be sorrowful, should they hear of his death for the sake of the Gospel, and of his blood being poured out in such a cause, since it was as a libation on their faith, and for the confirmation of it, and would be gain to Christ, and his interest, and to the apostle also: and therefore they should be so far from indulging grief and sorrow on that account, that they should rather joy and rejoice with him, who was ready to be offered up, or poured out; since he had run out his race, and that not in vain, but to so good a purpose, and especially among them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For the same cause - Because we are united, and what affects one of us should affect both.

Do ye joy, and rejoice with me - That is, “do not grieve at my death. Be not overwhelmed with sorrow, but let your hearts be filled with congratulation. It will be a privilege and a pleasure thus to die.” This is a noble sentiment, and one that could have been uttered only by a heroic and generous mind - by a man who will not dread death, and who felt that it was honorable thus to die Doddridge has illustrated the sentiment by an appropriate reference to a fact stated by Plutarch. A brave Athenian returned from the battle of Marathon, bleeding with wounds and exhausted, and rushed into the presence of the magistrates, and uttered only these two words - χαιρετε chairete, χαιρομεν chairomen - “rejoice, we rejoice,” and immediately expired. So Paul felt that there was occasion for him, and for all whom he loved, to rejoice, if he was permitted to die in the cause of others, and in such a manner that his death would benefit the world.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 18. For the same cause also do ye joy — Should I be thus offered, as I shall rejoice in it, do ye also rejoice that I am counted worthy of this high honour.
