Vincent's Word StudiesPartakers of the benefit (οἱ τῆς εὐεργεσίας ἀντιλαμβανόμενοι) The verb means to take hold of; hence, to take hold for the purpose of helping; to take up for, as Luke 1:54; Acts 20:35. oP. Ἑυεργεσία, benefit only here and Acts 4:9. Better, kindly service. Rend. they that busy themselves in the kindly service. The reference is to the kindly acts which the masters do to their slaves; not to the benefits received by the slaves. Comp. Galatians 5:13. 1 Timothy 6:2 Parallel Commentaries

Acts 1:15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 4:11 Command and teach these things. Philemon 1:16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother--especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
