| Commentaries and Concordances |
| PNT: | 1:23 There greet thee Epaphras. See PNT Col 1:7. He probably founded the Colossian church. See also Col 4:12.
My fellowprisoner. Perhaps only in the sense that he shared Paul's imprisonment by becoming his companion. |
| MHC: | 1:23-25 Never have believers found more enjoyment of God, than when suffering together for him. Grace is the best wish for ourselves and others; with this the apostle begins and ends. All grace is from Christ; he purchased, and he bestows it. What need we more to make us happy, than to have the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with our spirit? Let us do that now, which we should do at the last breath. Then men are ready to renounce the world, and to prefer the least portion of grace and faith before a kingdom. |
