Philippians 4:21-23 King James Version (KJV)
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Philippians 4:21-23
ACV 21 Salute every sanctified man in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me salute you. 22 All the sanctified salute you, and especially those of the house of Caesar. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Truly.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
21 For these people to be told Paul said hello seems something simple but it would have meant more to them and would help encourage them. Paul was always around other believers or had them on his thoughts or they were on his thoughts, we are to be like this thinking of others and be surrounded by them as much as we can.
22 There were God’s people inside Caesar’s house the Lord used Paul to make this happen. For Caesar house to have Christians would mean that what Saul intended to do bring down the followers of Christ would never be done and now as Paul he shared the gospel with those entire he could.
23 The Lord’s grace is what we live by and are able to serve Him. Grace was shared with us because of Christ’s death on the cross. His Spirit leads us to serve Him and to follow His will.

Oh Clark, how true your words are, and how badly our Society needs to re-learn these principals. Paul was so full of the Holy Spirit that He said that that was all that was left of him... and his Love and compassion for his followers was proof of that. Imagine, if all Christians would turn their hearts over to the Lord; wow, what an amazing earth this would be! That is what the Lord died for.....Love.
