Colossians 4:12 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

Epaphras

A touching illustration of priestly service,

( See Scofield) - (1 Peter 2:9),

as distinguished from ministry of gift. Shut up in prison, no longer able to preach, Epaphras was still, equally with all believers, a priest. No prison could keep him from the throne of grace, so he gave himself wholly to the priestly work of intercession.

perfect

( See Scofield) - (Matthew 5:48).

Colossians 4:12

12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
