What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Salute every saint in Christ Jesus." This also is no small thing. For it is a proof of great good will, to salute them through letters. "The brethren which are with me salute you." And yet thou saidst that thou hast "no one like-minded, who will care truly for your state." How then sayest thou now, "The brethren which are with me"? …
Theophylact of Ohrid
A sign of no small goodwill is to greet them by means of epistles. For with him were many, perhaps even some from Rome itself, who nevertheless did not take part in apostolic affairs: such was only Timothy, whom he called above like-minded with himself. Nevertheless, he does not refuse to call them brothers.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Then he gives the greeting when he says, greet every saint in Christ Jesus, i.e., those who believe in Christ, because they were sanctified by Christ: "So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood" (Heb. 13:12).
