Theophylact of Ohrid

Commentary on Philippians (1107)

A sign of no small goodwill is to greet them by means of epistles. For with him were many, perhaps even some from Rome itself, who nevertheless did not take part in apostolic affairs: such was only Timothy, whom he called above like-minded with himself. …

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus - It was usual for him also to close his epistles with affectionate salutations to various members of the churches to which he wrote. These salutations are generally specific, and mention the names, particularly if prominent members of the churches; see the close of the Epistles to the Romans; 1 Corinthians; Colossians, and 2 Timothy. In this Epistle, however, as in some others, the salutation in general. Why none are specified in particular is not certainly known.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Salute every saint--individually. greet--salute you. The brethren which are with me--Perhaps Jewish believers are meant (Ac 28:21). I think Php 2:20 precludes our thinking of "closer friends," "colleagues in the ministry" [ALFORD]; he had only one close friend with him, namely, Timothy.
