§ Money &c craved

Services &c received

Phil. iv. 18. I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things { which were sent} from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable to God.’ {Quoted under Proofs 1. Love of Money?}

* Phil. iv. 23. ‘Written to the Philippians by Epaphroditus

7. Epistle to the Colossians. Written from Rome.

In this Epistle in one character or other mention is made /occurrs/ of the persons following.

1. In the character of joint author of the Epistle, Timotheus.

2. In the character of Scribes, Messengers and Residents, as above, Tychicus and Onesimus.

3. In the character of sole fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, Aristarchus, Marcus (sister’s son to Barnabas) and Jesus Justus: all of them of the circumcision: whereof /of whom/ Aristarchus is stiled by Paul his fellow prisoner.

4. Persons mentioned as joining with him in salutations are Epaphras who (says he) is one of you, a servant of Christ. Luke stiled the beloved physician and Demas, Luke in the original Leucas: his name filled up in the English stile that he may the more readily be concluded to have been Luke the author of the Gospel bearing his name and as well /and moreover/ as groundlessly as will be seen a supposed to have been the author of the history of the Acts.

a II. History. Ch. 1

Persons to be saluted - 1. The brethren which are in Laodicea; 2. Nymphas; 3. the Church which is in his house

A person to whom in a high tone, an order or instruction[?] is addressed, Archippus. The whole will be seen closing with a salutation from his own princely hand, and a gentle hint not to be unmindful of the condition in which he writes.

Coloss. iv. 7. to 18. 7. All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

8. Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

9. With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.

10. Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)

    Proves that this letter written from Corinth was written after he had received the contribution from Macedonia and Achaia that he speaks of in & Cor and before the date of the last of those letters to the Corinthians. But I Cor. was written before his separation from Barnabas as per Acts XV. 39: for he speaks of Barnabas as with him.

    I Cor. IX. 6

    I Cor. was it written?

    In Rom XV. 25. He says he is going to Jerusalem to minister to the Saints, viz. to deliver the contribution of Macedonia & Achaia.

    Was this the visit with Barnabas (Visit II) or after the rupture with Barnabas? If so, it never was accomplished. Unless it was the Visit with Barnabas when they went on the other errand.

    Epistle to the Ephesians is stated at the end as being written from Rome — if so affords no evidence of the perjury — So likewise that to the Philippians — and that to the Colossians

    Per Acts XVII. 15. He is then at Athens.

    Hebrews which stands last and is stated as being written from Italy. They came after the above. These are the last to sets of persons except to come then those to Timothy, Titus & Philemon.

    Chronology continued

    I Cor. XVI. 1. Now concerning the collection for the saints as I have given order to the Churches of Galatia, even so do you.
