Salutations to various saints close the epistle. We are introduced into the family circle. As the kings of Israel had chronicles written of them, so God writes chronicles of His heavenly people. Every one of our characters and deeds are written in heaven. Priscilla and Aquila not only helped the Apostle Paul but were willing to lay down their own lives for him. It also appears that the assembly met in their home. Phebe was a sister who had been a succorer of many, and Mary labored much for the saints. Then there were two of Paul’s relatives, Andronicus and Junia, who were saved before he was. Don’t you think that they prayed for their brother’s salvation? Even in the early church there were difficulties and those who introduced wrong doctrine. How were they to behave toward these who walked in such a contrary way? They were to be avoided by the brethren. The Roman believers had a reputation for being subject to the Word of God. This made the Apostle happy. However, added to their obedience, he would also have them to be wise to that which was good and simple concerning evil. What a wonderful book the Bible is! And we could not have been born at a better time. God has now made manifest what before had been kept secret. May we read this blessed book every day of our lives.
