Fellow Laborers in Christ: Inner Unity

Philemon 1:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Philemon 1 in context

Scripture Focus

23There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
24Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
Philemon 1:23-24

Biblical Context

Philemon 1:23-24 greets Epaphras and fellow laborers, signaling a call to shared faith, unity, and cooperative service in Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

Philemon's greeting is not a social list but a map of consciousness. Epaphras, Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke are inner names for your own states of being—fellow laborers in Christ Jesus, not prisoners of a past condition but partners in a living I AM. In Neville's psychology, 'in Christ Jesus' is the awareness that you are whole now; all others are projections of the same ONE. The phrase 'fellowprisoner' indicates you have allowed yourself to be bound to limitation by old stories; yet, when you assume the I AM as your reality, the prison dissolves and your collaborative vitality returns. The letters are a communion, a reminder that unity is the natural condition of consciousness, not a tidy social arrangement. If you feel distance or lack, revise by assuming: I and my co-workers are one in the Christ state; we labour together in love, and every project prospers in that unity. Your present experience of community is a reflection of your inner alignment; shift that alignment, and the outer scene follows.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, recall Epaphras, Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke as inner energies; declare, 'I am united with my fellow laborers in Christ,' and feel the shared labor harmonize your actions here and now.
