Colossians 4:12
Epaphras A touching illustration of priestly service, (See Scofield "1 Peter 2:9") as distinguished from ministry of gift. Shut up in prison, no longer able to preach, Epaphras was still, equally with all believers, a priest. No prison could keep him from the throne of grace, so he gave himself wholly to the priestly work of intercession. perfect(See Scofield "Matthew 5:48").
