What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Salute Urbane, my helper in the Lord." This is a greater encomium than the other. For this even comprehends that. "And Stachys, my beloved." This again is an honor of the same kind.
Theophylact of Ohrid
This praise is greater than the previous one; it is even the cause of it and contains it within itself: for whoever is a fellow worker is also beloved. And he crowns this one with the same.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Then he says, greet Urbanus, our helper in Christ, i.e., in preaching the faith: a brother helped is like a strong city (Prov 18:19), and Stachys, my beloved. He mentions them together, perhaps because they lived together or were connected in some other way.
