Jerome

Commentary on Philemon (420)

One who has equal charity and faith toward God or His saints, ought also to have an equal share in the communication of His faith, so that as he believes and loves, he may also consummate his love and faith by his works. He says, "Let it become clear in knowing all good"; or as is better had in Greek, "effective"; for it can be properly translated "effective" or "operative"; so that we may not only believe that faith and charity towards God and His saints are sufficient for us, but also that what we believe is accomplished by action.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

In short, that thy faith may by acts be proved to be "a faith which worketh by love." in Christ Jesus--rather as Greek, "unto Christ Jesus," that is, to the glory of Christ Jesus.
