21 Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred; 22 I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord; 23 salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother, 24 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ 'be' with you all. Amen.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Romans 16:21-24
Commentary on Romans 16:21-24
(Read Romans 16:21-24)
The apostle adds affectionate remembrances from persons with him, known to the Roman Christians. It is a great comfort to see the holiness and usefulness of our kindred. Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but some are. It is lawful for believers to bear civil offices; and it were to be wished that all offices in Christian states, and in the church, were bestowed upon prudent and steady Christians.
