Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Philippians 4:21
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you. All the saints salute you, especially they that are of Caesar's household. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.Hendriksen, like many others, has supposed that Paul might have written these final verses with his own hand, as he sometimes did, thus making such an inscription a kind of signature.Knight wrote that "One would expect in a personal letter such as this to find in the closing salutations a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Philippians 4:21
Philippians 4:21. Salute every saint— The Syriac reads, "every one who has acquired holiness by Jesus Christ." As the brethren here stand contradistinguished to the saints, Php 4:22 we must understand the brethren in office, or the ministers.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Philippians 4:21
21. Salute every saint—individually. greet—salute you. The brethren which are with me—Perhaps Jewish believers are meant ( :-). I think Philippians 2:20 precludes our thinking of "closer friends," "colleagues in the ministry" [ALFORD]; he had only one close friend with him, namely, Timothy. read more

22. they that are of Cæsar's household—the slaves and dependents of Nero who had been probably converted through Paul's teaching while he was a prisoner in the Prætorian barrack attached to the palace. Philippi was a Roman "colony," hence there might arise a tie between the citizens of the mother city and those of the colony; especially between those of both cities who were Christians, converted as many of them were by the same apostle, and under like circumstances, he having been imprisoned at... read more

Thomas Constable
Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Philippians 4:21
The apostle wished that the Philippians would pass his greetings to every individual believer whom they would touch. He probably meant Christians in nearby towns as well as in Philippi. He used the same term to describe them as he employed in his opening greeting: "saints in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:1). We have seen that the believer’s position "in Christ" is an important theme in Philippians. Christ Jesus was both the source and focus of Paul and the Philippians’ common life together.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Philippians 4:10-23
Thanks for the Philippians’ gifts (4:10-23)The Philippians thought constantly of Paul’s needs, but were not able to send anything to him in his imprisonment until now. Paul’s joy at receiving this gift is not because he has a greedy desire for money, because he has long ago learnt to be satisfied with whatever he has. His contentment comes not through money or possessions, but through the assurance that Christ enables him to meet every situation (10-13).Paul repeats that his pleasure is not... read more
