“All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cesar’s household.”
All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household — the 'saints' (hagioi) who greet them are presumably Roman Christians. 'Caesar's household' (oikos Kaisaros) is remarkable: Paul's gospel has penetrated the imperial court itself. The prison ministry has fruits among the powerful. This validates his claim that his imprisonment advances the gospel (1:13).
