The Greek word for "help" here is "synergeo," which implies working together or cooperating. This suggests that prayer is not a passive activity but an active partnership with God and fellow believers. Historically, the early church was a tightly-knit community that relied heavily on prayer for support and guidance, especially during times of persecution and hardship. This phrase reminds us of the power and necessity of communal prayer, emphasizing that believers are not isolated in their struggles but are supported by the prayers of others. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to the prayers of many That for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons.--The Greek word for "person" (prosopon) is elsewhere throughout the New Testament translated "face" or "countenance," or "person" in the sense of "outward appearance." It has been suggested that that may be its meaning even here: that thanksgiving may be offered from many upturned faces. The use of the word prosopop?ia, however, for "personifying," and of prosopon for the characters in a drama, indicates that the noun was beginning to be used in a different sense, and this must clearly have been well established when it came to be used in theological language for the three "persons" of the Godhead. It is interesting to note, however, as a fact in the history of language, that, if this be its meaning here, it is probably one of the earliest extant instances of its being so used. The "gift," in this instance, is the deliverance from danger and suffering spoken of in the previous verse. Safety and health deserved the name not less truly than prophecy and the gift of tongues. He assumes, with the same subtle refinement as before, that they will be as ready to give thanks for his recovery or deliverance as they were to pray for it. Verse 11. - Ye also helping together by prayer for us. St. Paul had a deep conviction of the efficacy of intercessory prayer (Romans 15:30, 31; Philippians 1:19; Philemon 1:22). By the means of many persons; literally, from many faces. Probably the word prosopon here has its literal meaning. The verse, then, means "that from many faces the gift to us may be thankfully acknowledged by many on our behalf." God, he implies, will be well pleased when he sees the gratitude beaming from the many countenances of those who thank him for his answer to their prayers on his behalf. The word for "gift" is charisma, which means a gift of grace, a gift of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4).Parallel Commentaries ...
