Greet Mary Mary is a common name in the New Testament, derived from the Hebrew name Miriam. This Mary is distinct from other Marys mentioned in the New Testament, such as Mary, the mother of Jesus, or Mary Magdalene. The mention of her name indicates her significance in the early Christian community in Rome. The act of greeting suggests a personal connection and respect within the church, highlighting the importance of fellowship and community among believers. who has worked very hard for you Persons / Places / Events 1. MaryA Christian woman in the early church in Rome, recognized by Paul for her diligent work. Her specific contributions are not detailed, but her mention signifies her importance and dedication to the church community. 2. The Church in Rome The recipients of Paul's letter, a diverse group of believers in the capital of the Roman Empire. The church included both Jews and Gentiles, and Paul’s greetings highlight the unity and diversity within the body of Christ. 3. Paul the Apostle The author of the letter to the Romans, who is commending various individuals for their service to the church. His greetings serve to strengthen the bonds within the Christian community and acknowledge the contributions of its members. Teaching Points The Value of Hard Work in MinistryMary’s example shows that hard work in the service of the church is valuable and worthy of recognition. Every believer is called to contribute to the body of Christ with diligence and dedication. Recognition and Encouragement Paul’s greeting to Mary serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and encouraging those who labor in the church. Acknowledging the efforts of others can strengthen community bonds and motivate continued service. Diversity in Service The mention of various individuals in Romans 16, including Mary, highlights the diversity of gifts and roles within the church. Each person’s contribution is vital to the health and growth of the church community. The Role of Women in the Early Church Mary’s mention underscores the significant role women played in the early church. It challenges modern believers to appreciate and support the contributions of women in ministry today.(6) On us.--The true reading seems to be, on you. The readers would know to what the Apostle referred. It is useless for us to attempt to conjecture.Verses 6, 7. - Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on you (ὑμᾶς, rather than, as in the Textus Receptus, ἡμᾶς). Salute Andrenicus and Junia (or Junias: it is uncertain whether this is masculine or feminine; if the latter, Junia might be the wife of Andronicus), my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles who also were in Christ before me. It is a question whether by "my kinsmen" (τοὺς συγγενεῖς μου) here and afterwards St. Paul means that the persons so called were his relations, or only that they were Jews (cf. Romans 9:3, where he speaks of the Jews generally as τῶν συγγενῶν μου κατὰ σάρκα. There are in all five persons so designated in this chapter. The designation "fellow-prisoners" implies that these two had been, like himself, at some time imprisoned for the faith, but it does not fellow that he and they had been in prison together. If, in speaking of them as "of note among the apostles (ἐπὶσημοι ἐν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις)," he means to designate them as themselves apostles, this is an instance of a wider use of the term "apostle" than is generally understood (see note under Romans 12:6, etc.). The phrase, however, will bear the interpretation that they were persons held in honour in the circle of the original twelve. The term, οἱ ἀποστόλοι, is certainly often used distinctively of them, as in Acts 9:27 and in Galatians 1:19, by St. Paul himself, the reference in both texts being to his own relations to them; and so here, speaking of two persons, who he also says had been in Christ before himself, he may only mean to point to their having been, as they still were, distinguished in association with the original apostles even before his own conversion.
