Book ◦ Chapter

Epaphras, who is one of you
Epaphras is identified as a member of the Colossian community, indicating his close relationship and shared experiences with the recipients of the letter. This connection emphasizes the authenticity and personal nature of his concern for them. Epaphras is also mentioned inColossians 1:7 andPhilemon 1:23, highlighting his role as a faithful minister and fellow prisoner with Paul. His local origin suggests he was instrumental in founding or nurturing the church in Colossae.

and a servant of Christ Jesus
The term "servant" (Greek: doulos) implies a deep commitment and submission to Christ, reflecting the early Christian understanding of discipleship as servanthood. This designation aligns Epaphras with other notable figures in the New Testament who are described as servants of Christ, such as Paul (Romans 1:1) and James (James 1:1). It underscores his dedication to the mission and message of Jesus.

sends you greetings
This phrase indicates the practice of sending personal greetings in ancient letters, which served to strengthen communal bonds and express mutual care. It reflects the interconnectedness of early Christian communities, despite geographical distances. Such greetings are common in Paul's epistles, as seen inRomans 16 and1 Corinthians 16.

He is always wrestling in prayer for you
The imagery of "wrestling" (Greek: agonizomai) in prayer suggests intense spiritual effort and dedication. This term evokes the idea of struggle and perseverance, akin to an athlete's exertion, as seen in1 Corinthians 9:25. It highlights the importance of intercessory prayer in the early church, where leaders and members fervently prayed for one another's spiritual growth and protection.

so that you may stand mature
The goal of Epaphras's prayers is the spiritual maturity of the Colossian believers. Maturity (Greek: teleios) implies completeness and perfection in faith, as also emphasized inEphesians 4:13. This reflects the New Testament's call for believers to grow in their understanding and practice of the faith, moving beyond elementary teachings (Hebrews 6:1).

and fully assured in the full will of God
Being "fully assured" suggests a deep confidence and conviction in understanding God's will. This assurance is a recurring theme in Paul's letters, as seen inRomans 14:5 and2 Timothy 1:12, where believers are encouraged to be steadfast in their faith. The "full will of God" encompasses His purposes and desires for His people, as revealed through Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative of seeking and discerning God's will, as seen inRomans 12:2 andEphesians 5:17.

What Does Colossians 4:12 Mean

Epaphras, who is one of you

“Epaphras, who is one of you…” (Colossians 4:12)

• Paul reminds the Colossians that Epaphras comes from their own congregation. That local connection builds trust and shows how God raises up servants from within a church family (seeColossians 1:7;Philemon 1:23).

• His example encourages us to recognize and celebrate God’s work through ordinary believers in our midst (Acts 20:28;1 Thessalonians 5:12-13).

and a servant of Christ Jesus

• Epaphras is labeled a “servant,” emphasizing that his primary allegiance is to Christ, not to personal ambition (Romans 1:1;Mark 10:45).

• True ministry flows from willing submission to the Lord (Ephesians 6:6-7). Our titles or roles matter far less than faithful obedience to Jesus.

sends you greetings

• Paul often relays greetings to remind believers they belong to a larger, interconnected body (Romans 16:3-6;1 Corinthians 16:19-20).

• Such greetings model Christian warmth and unity across distance (Philippians 1:3-5). Even separated by miles, the saints stand together in Christ.

He is always wrestling in prayer for you

“Always wrestling” pictures intense, persistent intercession (Luke 22:44;Colossians 2:1).

• Prayer is spiritual labor, not casual routine (James 5:16-18).

• Epaphras shows that unseen battles on our knees are vital to the church’s health (Ephesians 6:18;1 Thessalonians 5:17).

so that you may stand mature

• His prayer goal is their maturity—steady, fully-grown faith (Ephesians 4:13-15;Hebrews 5:14).

• Spiritual growth is measured by stability in truth and Christlike character, not by outward success (Philippians 3:15;2 Peter 3:18).

and fully assured in the full will of God

• Epaphras asks God to give them complete confidence in His will (Romans 12:2;Hebrews 10:22-23).

• Assurance springs from knowing God’s revealed Word and trusting His sovereign plan (1 John 5:14-15;Psalm 119:105).

• When believers grasp God’s will, they live courageously and fruitfully (Colossians 1:9-10).

summary

Colossians 4:12 spotlights Epaphras as a hometown servant whose tireless intercession aims at the Colossians’ maturity and assurance in God’s will. The verse challenges us to value local leaders, labor fervently in prayer, pursue spiritual growth, and rest confidently in the Lord’s purposes—just as Scripture, accurate and true, calls every believer to do.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(12)Epaphras.--See Note onColossians 1:7.

Servant of Christ.--A title assumed by St. James and St. Judo, as well as by St. Paul himself, but given by him only to Timothy (Philippians 1:1) and to Epaphras here. Of course, all Christians are "servants of Christ." But the name, as applied here, is no doubt distinctive of some peculiar character of service.

Labouring fervently.--Properly,wrestlinginagony of prayer. (SeeRomans 15:30.)

Perfect and complete.--The word here found in the best MSS. for "complete" is used inRomans 4:21;Romans 14:5, for "fully convinced" or "persuaded." This is probably, though not perhaps necessarily, its meaning here. In the two epithets--perfect and fully established in conviction--we may again trace, as before, reference to the pretensions of the Gnostic teachers to exclusive perfection in wisdom. St. Paul's true fellow-worker, like himself, prays that this perfection may belong to all, and that it may have its basis not is the secrets of heavenly knowledge, but in the revealed "will of God." . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 12. -Epaphras, who is (one)of you, saluteth you, a servant (bondman)of Christ Jesus (Romans 1:1;Philippians 1:1;Titus 1:1;Galatians 1:10;2 Corinthians 4:5;1 Corinthians 7:22;1 Thessalonians 1:9;2 Timothy 2:24;Acts 4:29;James 1:1;2 Peter 1:1;Jude 1;Revelation 1:1;Revelation 22:3, 6). "Of you," like Onesimus (ver. 9). He was a native of Colossae, as well as evangelist and minister of the Church there (Colossians 1:7, 8). "Bondman of Christ Jesus" is the title the apostle so often claims for himself (see references), only here put by him on any one else. Is there an implied reference to Onesimus (ver. 9), who was "a bondman after the flesh," but "the Lord's freedman" (Philemon 1:16), while Epaphras, "the freeman," is "Christ's bondman" (comp.1 Corinthians 7:22)? We are reminded again ofColossians 2:6 (see note).Always striving on your behalf in his prayers, that ye may stand fast, (being)perfect and fully assured in all the will of God (Colossians 1:9, 23, 29;Colossians 2:1, 2, 5;Romans 15:30;Ephesians 6:11-14;Philippians 1:27;Philippians 4:1;1 Corinthians 16:13;1 Thessalonians 3:8;2 Thessalonians 2:15). Epaphras "strives" ("wrestles") for his spiritual charge, like the apostle himself (Colossians 1:29, see note onἀγωνίζομαι;Colossians 2:1;Romans 15:30;Luke 22:44).Προσκαρτερέω in ver. 2 denotes the patient persistence, this word the intense energy, of prevailing prayer. For "stand" (where Lightfoot, Westcott and Hort, and other critical editors read the strongerσταθῆτε forστῆτε), comp.Colossians 1:23;Colossians 2:7; it is four times repeated in the stirring appeal ofEphesians 6:11-14. For Churches threatened by the attacks of heresy it was above all things needful "that they should stand fast." On "perfect," seeColossians 1:28; alsoColossians 3:14; the word bears a primary reference to "knowledge," and implies a fully instructed and enlightened condition (Philippians 3:15;1 Corinthians 14:20;Hebrews 5:14;Hebrews 6:1), attended with corresponding spiritual advancement (Ephesians 4:13). "Fully assured" (πεπληροφορημένοι, Revised Text) carries us back toColossians 2:2 (see notes; on this verb, compare Lightfoot's exhaustive note). It bears the same sense inRomans 4:21 and Romans 14:5; a slightly different one inLuke 1:1. From the tenor of the letter it appears that the Colossians needed a deeper Christian insight and more intelligent and well-grounded convictions respecting the truth "as in Jesus." "All (the) will" is strictly distributive (every will);θέλημα' (Colossians 1:9) differs from ourwill in having a concrete rather than abstract sense, denotingan act orexpression of will.
