2:17-18 I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God: Both Jews and pagans often poured out a libation of wine either on a sacrifice or at the base of the altar in honor of the deity. Paul’s entire life was an offering to God (cp. Rom 12:1; 15:16). • Faithful service is a cause for rejoicing, because nothing done for God is in vain (see 1 Cor 15:58).
