Phm 1:6
1:6 That the {a} communication of thy faith may become effectual
by the {b} acknowledging of every good thing which is in you
in Christ Jesus.
(a) By fellowship of faith, he means those duties of charity
which are given to the saints, and flow from a
productive faith.

in Christ, that is, in faith, charity, and all
bountifulness.
Phm 1:7
1:7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because
the (c) bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
(c) Because you did so dutifully and cheerfully refresh the
saints, that they conceived inwardly a marvellous joy:
for by this word (bowels) is meant not only the inward
feeling of wants and miseries that men have of one
another's state, but also that joy and comfort which
enters into the very bowels, as though the heart were
refreshed and comforted.

another man.

constraint, but willingly.
Phm 1:15
1:15 For perhaps he therefore {f} departed for {g} a season,
that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

he ran away.

Phm 1:16
1:16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother
beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both
in the {h} flesh, and in the Lord?
(h) Because he is your servant, as other servants are, and
because he is the Lord's servant, you must love him
both for the Lord's sake and for your own sake.
Phm 1:20
1:20 {i} Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord:
refresh my bowels in the Lord.
