Romans 16:12

Tryphaena and Tryphosa (Trufainan kai Trufwsan). Probably sisters and possibly twins. Both names come from the same root, the verb trufaw, to live luxuriously (James 5:5). Denney suggests "Dainty and Disdain."

Persis (Persida). A freedwoman was so named. She is not Paul's "beloved," but the "beloved" of the whole church.
