Matthew Henry Commentary Philemon 1:23-25

"Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee; [and so do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen." — Philemon 1:23-25 (ASV)

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 more do we need 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 people are ready to renounce the world and to prefer the least portion of grace and faith over a kingdom.
