See Poole on "Galatians 6:18". See Poole on "Romans 16:24". See Poole on "1 Corinthians 16:23". See Poole on "Philippians 4:23". See Poole on "2 Thessalonians 3:18". With your spirit is the same as with you. By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, he means the Spirit of Christ in all its gracious emanations: we have his meaning fully, 2 Corinthians 13:14: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen is a particle of praying and affirming, by which he declareth his earnest desire it might be so, and also his faith that it should be so. Nor doth he pray for Philemon alone, (though the Epistle chiefly concerned him), but for all those who at Colosse had with him obtained like precious faith. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.
