AMP Footnotes
Phoebe (“bright,” “pure”) was chosen by Paul as his emissary to deliver this letter to Rome. She may have held a recognized position within the church.
Cenchrea, a few miles east of Corinth, served as Corinth’s port and was probably visited by Paul during both his second and third missionary journeys. This letter was written from Corinth near the end of the third journey.
Lit the saints.
Or Junia (feminine). There is a higher probability that the name is feminine; no masculine forms found in this or near time periods.
The Greek and larger context favor this understanding; Andronicus and Junia are not identified as apostles here.
Believed by some scholars to be the brother of Herod Agrippa I and grandson of Herod the Great.
Lit the saints.
A traditional act of salutation in the early church.
Paul’s helper, who wrote this letter as Paul dictated it, inserted a personal greeting, undoubtedly with Paul’s permission.
Early mss do not contain this verse; it was taken from the Latin Vulgate.
