On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He calls him his dear fellow-servant: all the servants of Christ ought to love one another, and it is an endearing consideration that they are engaged in the same service. He represents him as one who was a faithful minister of Christ to them, who discharged his trust and fulfilled his ministry among them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He recommends him to their affection, from the good report he made of their sincere love to Christ and all his members, which was wrought in them by the Spirit, and is agreeable to the spirit of the gospel. Faithful ministers are glad to be able to speak well of their people.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

your love-- (Col 1:4); "to all the saints." in the Spirit--the sphere or element IN which alone true love is found; as distinguished from the state of those "in the flesh" (Ro 8:9). Yet even they needed to be stirred up to greater love (Col 3:12-14). Love is the first and chief fruit of the Spirit (Ga 5:22).
