Final Greetings

23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, [1] 24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. 25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. [2]

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Philemon 1:23-25

Commentary on Philemon 1:23-25

(Read Philemon 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.
