Greet
The Greek word used here is "ἀσπάσασθε" (aspasasthe), which means to salute or welcome. In the early Christian context, greeting was more than a mere formality; it was an expression of love, unity, and fellowship among believers. This greeting signifies a deep spiritual connection and mutual respect among the members of the body of Christ. It reflects the warmth and affection that should characterize Christian relationships.

all the saints
The term "saints" comes from the Greek word "ἅγιοι" (hagioi), meaning "holy ones" or "set apart." In the New Testament, it refers to all believers who are sanctified in Christ Jesus. This phrase emphasizes the inclusivity of the Christian community, where every believer, regardless of their background or status, is considered holy and part of God's family. It underscores the unity and equality among Christians, as all are called to live a life of holiness.

in Christ Jesus
This phrase is central to Pauline theology, indicating the believer's spiritual position and identity. Being "in Christ" signifies a profound union with Jesus, where believers are incorporated into His life, death, and resurrection. It is through this union that Christians receive their identity, purpose, and strength. This phrase reminds us that our fellowship and greetings are rooted in our shared relationship with Christ, who is the source of our unity and holiness.

The brothers who are with me
Here, "brothers" (Greek: "ἀδελφοί," adelphoi) refers to fellow believers, likely those who were with Paul during his imprisonment. This term reflects the familial language used in the early church, highlighting the close-knit relationships among Christians. It suggests a community that transcends biological ties, united by faith and love in Christ. The mention of these brothers indicates the support and solidarity Paul experienced, even in difficult circumstances.

send you greetings
The act of sending greetings was a common practice in ancient letters, serving as a bridge between separated communities. It conveys a sense of connection and concern, reinforcing the bonds of fellowship despite physical distance. This phrase illustrates the early church's commitment to maintaining relationships and encouraging one another, a practice that remains vital for the church today. It serves as a reminder of the importance of communication and mutual support within the body of Christ.

(21) The brethren, which are with me.--The list of those who were with St. Paul at one time or another during his imprisonment may be gathered from the Epistles to the Colossians (Colossians 4:10-15) and Philemon (Philippians 1:23-24); where see Notes. How many of these where with him at this particular time we cannot tell. They are distinguished from "all the saints"--the body of the Church in general.

Verse 21. - Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. Every saint individually - an expression of personal affection. The words, "in Christ Jesus," may be taken with "salute," as in Romans 16:22 and 1 Corinthians 16:19. It is a Christian salutation, an acknowledgment of spiritual relationship; or better, perhaps, as in numerous passages, with "saint." All saints are in Christ, members of his body, knit together into one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of Christ. It is this union with Christ which makes them saints. The brethren which are with me greet you. Observe, he calls them "brethren," though he had none like-minded with him, save only Timothy (Philippians 2:20, 21).
