f
"Assist" is "to stand by her and help her." "Helper," prostatis, in this verse is stronger and has a higher sense, and means "helping as a patron. " It was used for a Roman patron, and is applied in special honour to Phoebe as one whose help many had been dependent on and had profited by. It was a complimentary touch of heart in which the apostle never fails. they were to "stand by her for assistance," but she had been "a patron" in the matter.
