Philemon1:23
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. Col 4:12.
My fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus. In the cause of Christ. 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.
