ピレモンへの手紙 1:4 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Philemon 1:1-7

I. In the Phlm. 1:1, 2 of the preface we have the persons from and to whom it is written, with some annexed note or title, implying somewhat of argument to the purpose of the letter. 1. The persons writing: Paul, the principal, who calls himself a prisoner of Jesus Christ, that is, for Jesus Christ. To be a prisoner simply is no comfort nor honour; but such as Paul was, for the faith and preaching of the gospel, this was true glory, and proper to move Phlm. upon the request made to him by such... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Philemon 1:1-7

1:1-7 This is a letter from Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, and from Timothy, the brother, to Philemon our well-beloved and our fellow-worker; and to Apphia, the sister, and to Archippus, our fellow-soldier, and to the Church in your house. Grace be to you and peace from God, our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I always thank my God when I make mention of you in my prayers, for I hear of your love and your faith, which you have to the Lord Jesus, and to all God's dedicated... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Philemon 1:4

I thank my God ,.... Meaning on account, of Philemon, for the grace bestowed upon him, thereafter mentioned; See Gill on Romans 1:8 making other saints, Romans 1:9 , the apostle was a man much in prayer, frequent at the throne of grace; and he prayed not for himself only, but for all the saints, for all the churches and ministers of the Gospel; whom he not only bore upon his mind and heart, but made mention of them, it may be by name; however, he remembered them, and put up petitions,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Philemon 1:4

I thank my God - For all the good he has bestowed upon you, making mention of thee always in my prayers, that thou mayest hold fast all that thou hast got, and get all that thou dost farther need. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Philemon 1:4

Verse 4 4.I give thanks to my God. It deserves attention, that he at the same time prays for that very thing for which he “gives thanks.” Even the most perfect, so long as they live in the world, never have so good ground for congratulation as not to need prayers, that God may grant to them, not only to persevere till the end, but likewise to make progress from day to day. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philemon 1:4

I thank my God always. We ought, therefore, to thank God, not only for gifts bestowed upon ourselves, but also for those bestowed upon others. This is an habitual phrase of St. Paul (comp. Romans 1:8 ; i Corinthians Romans 1:4 ; Ephesians 1:16 ; Philippians 1:3 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:2 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:3 ; 2 Timothy 1:3 ). "It is to be noted that for the thing on account of which he gives thanks, he at the same time prays" (Calvin). For no good work is ever so complete in us... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philemon 1:4

Love's outcome in prayer. "Making mention of thee always in my prayers." We may judge of the reality of our affection by the current of our thoughts. Do we find them tending towards some absent friends daily? Then we have evidence that ours is not the superficial love that can live only in the presence of its object. With the Christian thought turns to prayer. There on the throne of the universe is One who can best befriend our dearest friends. I. THERE WAS BLESSEDNESS IN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philemon 1:4-5

The constituent parts of acceptable prayer: thanksgiving, intercession, personal petitions. 1. An example of these here, incidentally given, not purposely , , St. Paul's practice with regard to Philemon. He was not familiarly known to the apostle. Perhaps it was with a certain surprise he learned that the great apostle habitually "made mention of him" in his prayers. In like manner, many Christians are being helped, without their own knowledge, by the prayers of others. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philemon 1:4-7

Recognition of the Christian character and services of Philemon. This is after the apostle's usual manner. I. THE THANKSGIVING . "I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers." 1. Though it is not unlawful to praise men for their graces or virtues , God is first to be thanked as the Author of these dispositions . "We rejoice [or, 'boast'] in God through our Lord Jesus Christ" ( Romans 5:11 ). It is the privilege of the believer to speak of God as "my... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Philemon 1:4

I thank my God - That is, for what I hear of you.Making mention of thee always in my prayers - See a similar declaration respecting the church at Ephesus, Ephesians 1:16. It would appear from this that Paul, in his private devotions, was in the habit of mentioning churches and individuals by name. It would seem, also, that though he was a prisoner, yet he somehow found opportunity for secret devotion. And it would appear further, that, though encompassed with many cares and sorrows, and about... read more
