Romans 16:23-24 - Exposition

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 city (not to be identified with the Erastus of Acts 19:22 and 2 Timothy 4:20 ), and Quartus the brother. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ he with you all. Amen .
