6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
6 Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.
6 Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.
6 Hello to Mary. What a worker she has turned out to be!
6 Greet Mary, who labored much for us.
6 Give my greetings to Mary, who has worked so hard for your benefit.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Romans 16:6
Commentary on Romans 16:1-16
(Read Romans 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 themselves hurt, as if Paul had forgotten them, he sends his remembrances to the rest, as brethren and saints, though not named. He adds, in the close, a general salutation to them all, in the name of the churches of Christ.
