OET-LV Greet every holy one in chosen_one/messiah Yaʸsous, are_greeting you_all the with me brothers,
OET (OET-RV) Greet all of the believers there in the name of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus). The brothers and sisters with me here also greet you all,
With these verses, Paul ended his letter to the Philippian believers. As he did in many of his letters, he sent his greetings and the greetings of the believers who were with him. He ended the letter with a brief prayer or blessing (4:23).
Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus.
¶ Greet every one of God’s people who trusts in Christ Jesus.
¶ Give my greetings to all God’s people who belong to Christ Jesus.
Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus: Paul told those who would read or hear his letter to give his greetings to the rest of the believers in Philippi.
Greet: This is a command addressed to more than one person. Probably Paul was addressing the church leaders, who would have read the letter first.
all the saints: See notes on 1:1b for the meaning of saints. Paul wanted to greet every believer in Philippi. In some languages it may be necessary to supply the word “other” to indicate that those who would pass on Paul’s greetings were also Christians.
in Christ Jesus: There are three main ways that this phrase can be understood here:
It explains the word “saints.” The “saints” are those who are united with or are in Christ Jesus. For example:
Greetings to each one of God’s people who belong to Christ Jesus. (GNT) (GW, NLT, GNT)
It relates to the verb “greet.” This would mean, “Greet in Christ Jesus’ name all God’s people.” For example:
Give my greetings, in the fellowship of Christ Jesus. (REB)
It means “because of Christ Jesus.” For example:
Give my greetings to all who are God’s people because of Christ Jesus. (CEV)
The first interpretation is the most likely, and it is recommended that you follow it (1).
The brothers who are with me send you greetings.
Our(incl) brothers here with me also greet you.
The Christian brothers who are with me here also send their greetings to you.
The brothers who are with me send you greetings: This probably refers to the believers who worked closely with Paul. They also sent their greetings to the believers in Philippi. It does not mean that these believers were with Paul in the Roman prison. But they would have been in the city of Rome. These co-workers were probably all men, and it is not necessary to translate brothers as “brothers and sisters” here.
