빌레몬서 1:25-27 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Philemon 1:8-25

We have here, I. The main business of the epistle, which was to plead with Phlm. on behalf of Onesimus, that he would receive him and be reconciled to him. Many arguments Paul urges for this purpose, Phlm. 1:8-21. The 1st Argument is taken from what was before noted, and is carried in the illative wherefore: ?Seeing so much good is reported of thee and found in thee, especially thy love to all saints, now let me see it on a fresh and further occasion; refresh the bowels of Onesimus and mine... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Philemon 1:18-25

1:18-25 If he has done you any damage or owes you anything, put it down to my account. I, Paul, write with my own hand--I will repay it, not to mention to you that you owe your very self to me. Yes, my brother, let me make some Christian profit out of you! Refresh my heart in Christ. It is with complete confidence in your willingness to listen that I write to you, for I know well that you will do more than I ask. At the same time get ready a lodging place for me; for I hope that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Philemon 1:25

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Not with his spirit only, but with the spirit of Apphia and Archippus, to whom also the epistle was sent; and therefore the word is in the plural number; and the Syriac version adds pertinently enough, "my brethren": the salutation is the same as in all the epistles; the form of it agrees with Galatians 6:18 the subscription of the epistle is, written from Rome, to Philemon, by Onesimus, a servant ; that is, it was written... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Philemon 1:23-25

Salutations and prayer. I. SALUTATIONS . These are the expressions of Christian sympathy and kindness. 1. They are the salutations of the apostle ' s fellow-prisoner . "There salute thee Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus." (a) This was an alleviation to both prisoners, on account of their common faith, their common hopes, and their common interests.

The grace. A omits ἀμήν . Theodoret has appended the following to his commentary: "It is fitting that those who have obtained the privilege of handing on the holy doctrine should so teach servants to submit themselves to their lords, that through all things Jesus Christ may be praised, to whom with the Father and the most Holy Spirit belong glory and greatness now and always and forever. Amen." Homiletics read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Philemon 1:23-25

Philemon 1:23-25. There salute thee Epaphras, &c. Respecting these persons, see on Colossians 4:10; Colossians 4:12; Colossians 4:14. In that chapter, Philemon 1:10, Aristarchus is called the apostle’s fellow-prisoner; but as that particular is not mentioned here, it is not improbable that he had obtained his liberty about the time when this letter was written. Demas afterward forsook the apostle, namely, during his second imprisonment, from love to this present world, 2 Timothy... read more

Spirit appears to be a term for the whole man in his `new age' outlook."[41] There are many examples of this conclusion of the Pauline letters.[41] E. Earle Ellis, op. cit., p. 895. read more
