Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 16:1-7

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: (2) That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succorer of many, and of myself also. (3) Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: (4) Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. (5) Likewise greet the church that... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:1-16

1-16 Paul recommends Phebe to the Christians at Rome. It becomes Christians to help one another in their affairs, especially strangers; we know not what help we may need ourselves. Paul asks help for one that had been helpful to many; he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Though the care of all the churches came upon him daily, yet he could remember many persons, and send salutations to each, with particular characters of them, and express concern for them. Lest any should feel... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 16:1-99

Romans 16 IN CHAPTER 16 we get the closing salutations. Phebe seems to have been the bearer of the epistle, and Paul works in this word of commendation concerning her so that the saints at Rome might freely and without question receive her. She had succoured many and even Paul himself in the course of her service at Cenchrea. The word, “servant” is really, “deaconess.” From verse Rom_16:3 to verse Rom_16:15 we have a long list of names of those in Rome to whom salutations were sent. At the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 16:1-2

A Recommendation, Greetings, and a Final Admonition. A recommendation of Phoebe: v. 1. I commend unto you Phoebe, our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea, v. 2. that ye receive her in the Lord as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you; for she hath been a succorer of many, and of myself also. The epistle proper had ended with the fifteenth chapter, but Paul here, in the form of a postscript, adds various personal... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 16:1-2

Romans PHBE Rom_16:1 - Rom_16:2 . This is an outline picture of an else wholly unknown person. She, like most of the other names mentioned in the salutations in this chapter, has had a singular fate. Every name, shadowy and unreal as it is to us, belonged to a human life filled with hopes and fears, plunged sometimes in the depths of sorrows, struggling with anxieties and difficulties; and all the agitations have sunk into forgetfulness and calm. There is left to the world an immortal... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 16:1-16

Personal Interest in Fellow-Christians Romans 16:1-16 Here is a window into Paul’s heart. He was apparently disowned by his own kindred, yet, as the Lord had promised, He had mothers, sisters, and brothers a hundred-fold. What a contrast there is between the spirit of this chapter and that of the mere disputant or theologian, the stoic or monk. We see also the courtesy, purity, thoughtfulness, and tenderness of Christian relationships. Women are here-Phoebe, Priscilla, Mary, Junia, Persis,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

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
