Ἀσπάσασθε. Cp. Romans 16:3-16 for such ἀσπασμοί in detail.

πάντα ἅγιον ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. “Every saint” (see on Philippians 1:1) “in Christ Jesus.” We might explain the clause, as Lightfoot inclines to do, “Salute in Christ Jesus every saint”; cp. 1 Corinthians 16:19, ἀσπάζοντας ὑμᾶς ἐν κυρίῳ πολλὰ Ἀκύλας καὶ Πρίσκα (Romans 16:22 is not clear). But on the whole the other connexion seems preferable, looking at Philippians 1:1, πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγ. ἐν Χρ. Ἰ.

οἱ σὺν ἐμοὶ�. “Apparently the Apostle’s personal companions, as distinguished from the Christians resident at Rome, who are described in the following verse” (Lightfoot).
