Salute every saint in Christ Jesus
Meaning at Philippi, whether rich or poor, lesser or greater believers, common saints, as well as the officers of the church, bishops and deacons; who were in Christ by electing grace, and as their covenant head, and representative from everlasting, and which was manifested and made known by their conversion and the effectual calling:
the brethren which are with me greet you;
such as Timothy; see ( Philippians 2:19 ) ; and Epaphras, Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, and Lucas; see ( Philemon 1:23 Philemon 1:24 ) ; he makes no mention of Peter anywhere, when he writes from Rome or to it, which shows he was not there then, or a bishop of that place, as the Papists say.
