This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Not now as a servant; not now merely as a servant.
But above a servant; but as one that deserveth much more kindness than a servant.
A brother beloved; being a Christian (deservedly to be loved.
Specially to me; ) especially of me, who have a spiritual relation to him, as the instrument of his conversion, and as he hath been useful in ministering to me in prison.
But how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? But how much more to thee, to whom he stands not only in the relation of a brother, being converted to the Christian faith, but
in the flesh, as thy kinsman, or thy servant, or one of thy family, or thy countryman, one of the same town and place!
