Philemon 1
1. Paul rejoices to hear of the faith and love of Philemon,
8. whom he desires to forgive his servant Onesimus, and lovingly to receive him again.














as do
This phrase connects the individuals mentioned in the verse to the preceding context, indicating their shared role or status. In the Greek, the word "ὡς" (hōs) is used, which can mean "as" or "like." This suggests a comparison or similarity, emphasizing the unity and common purpose among Paul's companions. It highlights the collaborative nature of early Christian ministry, where each person contributed to the mission of spreading the Gospel.

Mark
Mark, also known as John Mark, is a significant figure in the New Testament. He is traditionally credited with writing the Gospel of Mark. His journey with Paul and Barnabas on their missionary journeys is well-documented in Acts. Despite a temporary falling out with Paul (Acts 15:37-39), Mark is later seen as a valuable co-worker, illustrating themes of reconciliation and forgiveness. The Greek name "Μᾶρκος" (Markos) reflects his Roman heritage, indicating the diverse backgrounds of early Christian leaders.

Aristarchus
Aristarchus is mentioned several times in the New Testament as a companion of Paul. His name, "Ἀρίσταρχος" (Aristarchos), means "best ruler" or "excellent leader" in Greek, suggesting a noble character. He is described as a fellow prisoner with Paul in Colossians 4:10, indicating his dedication and willingness to suffer for the Gospel. Aristarchus's presence in this list underscores the theme of steadfastness and loyalty in the face of persecution.

Demas
Demas is a more enigmatic figure. His name, "Δημᾶς" (Dēmas), is of Greek origin, meaning "popular" or "of the people." Initially, he is listed as a fellow worker, but later, in 2 Timothy 4:10, Paul notes that Demas deserted him, "because he loved this world." This contrast serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of worldly temptations and the importance of perseverance in faith.

Luke
Luke, the beloved physician, is the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. His Greek name, "Λουκᾶς" (Loukas), suggests a background of Hellenistic culture. Luke's detailed accounts of Jesus' life and the early church provide invaluable historical and theological insights. His inclusion as a fellow worker highlights the importance of diverse gifts and professions in the service of the Gospel, as well as the role of careful documentation and scholarship in the Christian tradition.

my fellow workers
This phrase, "συνεργοί μου" (synergoi mou), translates to "my co-laborers" or "my fellow workers." It emphasizes the collaborative effort in the ministry of the early church. The root "συνεργός" (synergos) combines "syn" (together) and "ergon" (work), illustrating the partnership and unity among believers. This collective effort is a powerful testament to the body of Christ working together, each member contributing their unique gifts for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It serves as an inspiration for modern believers to engage in cooperative ministry, valuing each person's contribution to the mission.
