This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Here our apostle closes his epistle with a general salutation under his own hand, intimating thereby, that he had wrote the whole with his own hands.
He begs them to remember his bonds; that is,
1. To sympathize with him in his bonds.
2. To pray for him in his bonds.
3. To receive the word of God, which he had written to them in his bonds.
4. To prepare for sufferings themselves, his bonds being but the fore-runners of their bonds.
Thus it is the people's duty to remember the pious ministers in their bonds. He adds, Grace be with you, wishing them an abiding interest in the special favour of God, with a multiplied increase of all spiritual blessings flowing from thence; increase of all grace to enable them to glorify God on earth, and to prepare them for glory with God in heaven. Amen.
