Charles Spurgeon Commentary Philippians 4:21-22

"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." — Philippians 4:21-22 (ASV)

The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

I suppose most of these were only slaves in the imperial household. There may have been one or two, perhaps, of a higher class; but, in all probability, the gospel first reached the slaves in the Roman palace, that pandemonium of vice, where lust and cruelty abounded. There were saints even there; and God still has some of his jewels lying on dunghills.

The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.

Exposed to the greatest perils, and yet brave to confess Christ.

They may have been nothing but poor kitchen-maids, or they may have been among the Praetorian guards who watched and guarded the palace and the prisoners, but they must have their title set down in the letter, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
