From BibleWiki
23: ασπαζονται σε επαφρας ο συναιχμαλωτος μου εν χριστω ιησου
23: There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
23: There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus:
There salute thee Epaphras. The same persons who are here mentioned as greeting Philemon, are mentioned in the close of the epistle to the Colossians -- furnishing a high degree of evidence that Philemon resided at Colosse. Epaphras was a member of the church there. See Col 4:12.
My fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus. In the cause of Christ. See Pmon 1:1.
The circumstance of his being a prisoner is not mentioned in the parallel place in the epistle to the Colossians, but nothing is more probable.
