Receive Helpers: Shun Hinderers Romans 16:17-27 Those who cause divisions on obscure points of doctrine are to be avoided, lest they lead us away from the fundamentals. We need to be wise in heavenly wisdom and guileless in regard to evil. The pure, childlike heart is quick to discern the right and wrong, because of the breath that evil leaves on its clear mirror. In the ease of each believer, however weak and helpless, God is pledged to fulfill to us Genesis 3:15 . Not merely will He help... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 16:1-27

In the salutation twenty-six persons are named. Two-thirds of these names are Greek, which, in all probability, are names of persons the apostle had actually known in his work in Asia. Phoebe was specially recommended. His old friends, Priscilla and Aquila, were evidently back in Rome again ( Act 18:2 ). The chief interest of this passage centers, however, in the apostle's incidentally revealed consciousness of the interrelationships of the saints as being dependent on the common relationship... read more

4). Final Greetings (16:1-27). We now come to the close of the letter. This final chapter divides up into three subsections: 1) Final greetings and exhortations (Romans 16:1-16). 2) Exhortation to beware of those who divide the church and of the need to be wise to what is good, with the assurance that God will cause them to triumph against Satan’s deceitfulness (Romans 16:17-20). 3) Greetings from fellow-labourers in the Gospel (Romans 16:21-23). read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:21

‘Timothy my fellow-worker salutes you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.’ Timothy is described as Paul’s fellow-worker. For a time he had been Paul’s constant companion, and his name was regularly included in Paul’s opening address in his letters. He would later have an important role as one of Paul’s deputies. But he was never called an Apostle, and when Paul stated that he himself was an Apostle he made the distinction quite clear, referring to ‘Timothy our brother’ (2... read more

Greetings From His Fellow-Workers (16:21-24). Paul now sends greeting from his fellow-workers. He may well have had in mind the need to establish the authority of those referred to in the service of the Gospel. They were, as it were, his lieutenants. read more

Romans 16:21-Isaiah : . Greeting from Paul’ s Friends in Corinth. Romans 16:21 . “ Timothy” was by Paul’ s side during this period (see Acts 19:22; Acts 20:4, 2 Corinthians 1:1. Of the Jewish “ Lucius, Jason, Sosipatros,” the first may or may not have been Paul’ s old Antiochene colleague of Acts 13:1; Lucius was a familiar Latin name— certainly not identical with Luke (Lucas=Lucanus). The second (often a Greek alias for Jesus) was, not improbably, Jason of Thessalonica ( Acts 17:5-1... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 16:21

As before he saluted divers persons himself, so now he sendeth the salutation of others to the church of Rome. This he doth to show the mutual amity and love that is and ought to be between Christians; though they are divided in respect of place, yet not in respect of affection and goodwill. He begins with Timotheus, or Timothy, whom he calls his work-fellow, or fellow helper, viz. in preaching and propagating the gospel of Christ. This shows the humility of the apostle, that he dignifies so... read more

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 16:21.—Timothy and Sosipater with St. Paul at Corinth, where he wrote this epistle. Lucius perhaps St. Luke.Romans 16:22.—Tertius, a secretary with a Roman name to write to Romans.Romans 16:23.—Gains, said to be the first bishop of Thessalonica; but it is a recurring name like Lucius. We need not attempt to attach it to any person, nor make it a cause of perplexity. Quartus a Roman name. Erastus the quæstor of the city, probably Corinth.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE... read more
