EPISTLE OF PAUL TO PHILEMON - Chapter 1 - Verse 23
Verse 23. There salute thee Epaphras. The same persons who are here mentioned as greeting Philemon, are mentioned in the close of the epistle to the Colossians -- furnishing a high degree of evidence that Philemon resided at Colosse. Epaphras was a member of the church there. See Barnes "Col 4:12".
My fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus. In the cause of Christ. See Barnes "Phm 1:1".
The circumstance of his being a prisoner is not mentioned in the parallel place in the epistle to the Colossians, but nothing is more probable.
