Gill's Notes on the Bible

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus,.... Meaning at Philippi, whether rich or poor, lesser or greater believers, common saints, as well as the officers of the church, bishops and deacons; who were in Christ by electing grace, and as their covenant head, and representative from everlasting, and which was manifested and made known by their conversion and the effectual calling:

the brethren which are with me greet you; such as Timothy; see Philippians 2:19; and Epaphras, Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, and Lucas; see Philemon 1:23; he makes no mention of Peter anywhere, when he writes from Rome or to it, which shows he was not there then, or a bishop of that place, as the Papists say.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus - It was usual for him also to close his epistles with affectionate salutations to various members of the churches to which he wrote. These salutations are generally specific, and mention the names, particularly if prominent members of the churches; see the close of the Epistles to the Romans; 1 Corinthians; Colossians, and 2 Timothy. In this Epistle, however, as in some others, the salutation in general. Why none are specified in particular is not certainly known.

The brethren which are with me ... - The word “brethren” here probably refers to ministers that were with Paul as the “saints” in general are mentioned in the next verse. It is possible that at Rome the ministers were known by the general name of “the brethren” - Pierce.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 21. Salute every saint — Remember to present my affectionate wishes to every Christian at Philippi.

The brethren which are with me — Those who were fellow labourers with him, generally supposed to be Aristarchus, Mark, Justus, Epaphras, Luke, and Demas. See the end of the epistles to the Colossians (Colossians 4:17 note), and to Philemon (Philemon 1:25).
