This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Them that are in bonds (τῶν δεσμίων)
See on Heb 10:34.
As bound with them (ὡς συνδεδεμένοι)
N.T.o. As if you were fellow-prisoners. Comp. 1Co 12:14-26; 2Co 11:29. Public intercession for prisoners has formed a part of the service of the church from the earliest times. See the prayer at the close of Clem. Rom Ad Corinth. lix. It also occurs in the daily morning service of the synagogue.
Which suffer adversity (κακουχουμένων)
Rend. are evil entreated. See on Heb 11:37.
As being yourselves also in the body (ὡς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐν σώματι)
As subject like them to bodily sufferings. Not in the body - the church, which would require the article. The expression ἐν σώματι in the sense of being still alive, only in 2Co 12:2.
