<< Romans 16:1

Romans 16:3 >>

Romans 16:2 That ye receive her in the Lord. Give her a Christian welcome. And that ye assist her. The term used in the Greek, "paristemi", is a legal one; hence it is supposed that some kind of legal business called her to Rome. She hath been a succorer of many. This would result from her office as a deaconess. Among those ministered to was the apostle himself.
