Commentaries on Philippians 4:22

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 22All the saints - All the Christians now at Rome. They that are of Caesar's household - Nero was at this time emperor of Rome: a more worthless, cruel, and diabolic wretch never disgraced the name or form of man; yet in his family there were Christians: but whether this relates to the members of the imperial family, or to guards, or courtiers, or to servants, we cannot tell. If even some of his slaves were converted to Christianity, it would he…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 22All the saints salute you - All in Rome, where this Epistle was written. No individuals are specified, perhaps because none of the Christians at Rome wore personally known to the church at Philippi.

They might have been especially close to Paul and worried about him in prison (see 1:13).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2222. they that are of Cæsar's household--the slaves and dependents of Nero who had been probably converted through Paul's teaching while he was a prisoner in the Prætorian barrack attached to the palace. Philippi was a Roman "colony," hence there might arise a tie between the citizens of the mother city and those of the colony; especially between those of both cities who were Christians, converted as many of them were by the same apostle, and under like…Read the comment
