Hearing of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
All Commentaries on Philemon 1:5 Go To Philemon 1
Jerome
AD 420
If the question is asked—“How can we have the same faith in Christ Jesus and toward all the saints?”—the answer is that you have love in Christ Jesus and toward the saints, and you have the same faith in Christ Jesus and toward the saints by a shared property…. It is because the same holiness is shared by the Lord and by his servants, as Old Testament usage shows. As long as we believe in the holiness of God, we shall see it in his true servants as well. .
