Who in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me:
All Commentaries on Philemon 1:11 Go To Philemon 1
Jerome
AD 420
I must stand in awe of the apostle’s greatness of soul here, as a man whose mind burns for Christ. He is held in prison, he is constrained by chains, in physical misery, separated from dear ones, plunged into prison darkness, yet he does not feel the injury, he is not crucified with sadness. Rather, he knows nothing else than to ponder the gospel of Christ. .
