Commentary

Commentary on Philippians 4:21

Theological / Devotional

Salute. Gr. aspazomai (see on Rom. 16:3; 1 Thess. 5:26).

Every saint. That is, each saint individually, for Paul wished to greet all of the Philippian Christians. For comment on “saint” see on Rom. 1:6.

In Christ Jesus. This phrase may be understood to modify “salute” (cf. Rom. 16:22; 1 Cor. 16:19), or “saint,” as in Phil. 1:1.

Brethren ... greet you. Paul calls those who were with him “brethren,” although he had none like-minded with him, except Timothy (ch. 2:20, 21). The names of some of those who were with him at one time or another during his imprisonment may be gathered from the letters to the Colossians (ch. 4:10-15) and Philemon (vs. 23, 1:24). How many of them were with him at this particular time we cannot tell.
