Romans 16:24 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Romans 16:21-24

As the Apostle had before sent his own salutations to many of this church, and that of the churches round him to them all, he here adds an affectionate remembrance of them from some particular persons who were now with him, the better to promote acquaintance and fellowship among distant saints, and that the subscribing of these worthy names, known to them, might the more recommend this epistle. He mentions, 1. Some that were his particular friends, and probably known to the Roman Christians:... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 16:24

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. This verse is placed by the Syriac at the end of the chapter, and is wanting in the Ethiopic version, and in one ancient copy, being, excepting the word all, the same as at the end of Romans 16:20 ; but inasmuch as it is in all other copies, it ought to be repeated and stand here: the reason of the repetition may either be, because the former might be written by his amanuensis, and this with his own hand, as was usual with him in... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:24

The grace of our Lord - This is the conclusion of Tertius, and is similar to what St. Paul used above. Hence it is possible that Tertius wrote the whole of the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th verses, without receiving any particular instructions from St. Paul, except the bare permission to add his own salutations with those of his particular friends. There is a great deal of disagreement among the MSS. and versions relative to this verse; some rejecting it entirely, and some of those which place the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 16:1-27

Salutations and benedictions. The programme being sketched, the apostle now proceeds to the salutations and benedictions with which his Epistles usually end. And here notice— I. THE DISTINGUISHED PLACE OCCUPIED IN THE PRIMITIVE CHURCH BY WOMEN . There are no less than nine women specially referred to in this list, and all are active in the Church. Some were deaconesses; for instance, Phoebe, Mary, Tryphena and Tryphosa, and Persis. Oriental society separates the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 16:20-27

The object and the strength of a Christian Church. With these two important thoughts St. Paul closes his Epistle. I. THE CHURCH 'S OBJECT . The Epistle ends with an ascription of glory to God ( Romans 16:25-27 ). This was the great end the apostle had in view in writing his Epistle. And he would have his readers remember that this, too, is the great end for which a Church of Christ exists. "Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him for ever." We should glorify the love... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 16:23-24

Gaius mine host, and of the whole Church, saluteth you . Probably the person mentioned in 1 Corinthians 1:14 as baptized by St. Paul himself at Corinth. There is no reason for identifying him with those of the same name mentioned in Acts 19:29 ; Acts 20:4 ; 3 John 1:1 . Gaius was a common name. He appears to have been one who exercised extensive hospitality to Christians, which the apostle was enjoying at the time of writing. Erastus the chamberlain (rather, treasurer ) of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 16:22-24

Romans 16:22-24. I Tertius, who wrote this epistle While the apostle dictated it to me; or he might mean that he transcribed it from the apostle’s autograph: salute you in the Lord The Lord Christ, our common Master. This sentence Tertius inserted by the apostle’s advice, or at least, permission. Gaius, mine host, by whom I am entertained here at Corinth; see 1 Corinthians 1:14: and of the whole church To all the members of which he shows great hospitality. Or the meaning may be, that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 16:1-27

Personal greetings (16:1-27)The person who took this letter to Rome was Phoebe, a woman well respected for her work in the church in Cenchreae, one of the seaports of Corinth. She had been a tireless helper of Paul and many others, and Paul asks the Roman Christians to welcome her (16:1-2).Paul then sends greetings to a number of people whom he had met during his missionary travels and who now lived in Rome. First among these were Paul’s loyal friends, Aquila and Priscilla. They were now back... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Romans 16:24

The grace, &c. The amanuensis repeats the words which close the actual message of Paul, Romans 16:20 , Some ancient texts omit this second benediction, and the Revised Version follows through not understanding the reason for the introduction of "the mystery", verses: Romans 16:25 , Romans 16:26-27 . There are clearly two postscripts, one after Romans 16:20 , the other after Romans 16:24 . The first closes the Ep. itself at the time of writing by Tertius in the spring of 58 A.D. The other... read more
