Romans 16:19-20 Romans 16:19 Romans 16:19-20 Romans 16:19-Paul Rejoiced Over Roman Obedience But Warned Them To Be Wise In What Is Good And Innocent With Respect To Evil Thus far in our study of Romans 16 we have noted that in Romans 16:1-2 Paul introduces Phoebe to the Roman believers and commands them to welcome her and put themselves at her disposal. Romans 16:1, “Now, I introduce to you Phoebe, our spiritual sister, who is also serving the church at Cenchrea 2 in order to welcome her into fellowship with yourselves with great honor and hospitality on the basis of the Lord’s teaching to love one another in a manner worthy of the saints and in addition that you place yourselves at her disposal for the purpose of providing her with anything at all she needs from you because she in fact has demonstrated herself to be of assistance for many including myself as well.” In verse 1, Paul gives a two-fold description of Phoebe, both of which were designed to facilitate Phoebe’s acceptance into the fellowship of the Roman believers. The first description “ our spiritual sister ” denotes the common spiritual relationship that Phoebe has with not only Paul and his companions with him in Corinth but also the common spiritual relationship she has with the Roman believers. The second description “ who is also serving the church at Cenchrea ” describes Phoebe as one who serves both Paul and the Roman believers as an intermediary between the two in the sense that she is the courier of this epistle. It does not denote the office of “deacon” since Paul’s teaching in 1 Timothy 2:11-15 and 3:12 prohibit a woman holding this position of authority in the church. “Cenchrea ” refers to a seaport seven miles east of Corinth on the Saronic Gulf, which was used for trade with Asia and was mentioned in the writings of Thucydides, Pausanias, and Strabo. It served as the southern harbor of Corinth. In Romans 16:1, it is identified as the home of Phoebe. Then, in Romans 16:2, he presents the two-fold purpose for Paul introducing Phoebe to the Roman believers. First of all, he introduced her to them so that they would welcome her into their fellowship with great honor and hospitality. The reason why they should do so is because of the Lord’s teaching to love one another. They were to welcome her in a manner worthy of the saints or that was the proper way among Christians of welcoming a fellow believer, which is in accordance with the Lord’s teaching to love one another. The second purpose for Paul introducing Phoebe to the Roman believers was so that they would place themselves at her disposal for the purpose of providing her with anything she 2010 William E. Wenstrom, Jr. Bible Ministries 1 needs. Then, he presents the reason why they should do this, namely, because she has demonstrated herself to be of assistance for many Christians including himself. Then, in Romans 16:3-15, Paul commands the Roman believers to greet on his behalf 26 individuals, 2 families and other unnamed individuals. Romans 16:3, “All of you please give my regards to Prisca as well as Aquila, my co-workers in the cause of Christ, who is Jesus 4 who, indeed are of such character, risked their own necks for my life. Not only am I grateful but also each and every one of the churches from among the Gentiles. 5 Also, all of you please give my regards to the church, which is in their private home. Please give my regards to Epenetus, my dear friend who possesses the particular distinction of being the first convert to Christ from Asia. 6 All of you please give my regards to Mary, who is of outstanding character, having worked very hard on behalf of all of you. 7 All of you please give my regards to Andronicus as well as Junia, my fellow-workers as well as my fellow- prisoners who possess depth of character being well-known to the apostles, who have entered into the state of being in union with Christ before me. 8 All of you please give my regards to Ampliatus, my dear friend with respect to serving the Lord. 9 All of you please give my regards to Urbanus, our co- worker in the cause of Christ as well as Stachys, my dear friend. 10 All of you, please give my regards to Apelles, the battle tested one in the cause of Christ. All of you please give my regards to those from the household of Aristobulus. 11 All of you please give my regards to Herodion, my fellow-countryman. All of you please give my regards to those from the household of Narcissus, who are under the authority of the Lord. 12 All of you please give my regards to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, hard workers with respect to serving the Lord. All of you please give my regards to Persis, the beloved, who possesses depth of character, having worked very hard with respect to serving the Lord. 13 All of you please give my regards to Rufus, who is outstanding with respect to serving the Lord as well as his mother and mine. 14 All of you please give my regards to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas and Hermas as well as those spiritual brothers associated with them. 15 All of you please give my regards to Philologus as well as Julia, Nereus as well as his sister and in addition, each and every one of the saints associated with them.” In Romans 16:3-15, Paul sends greetings to 26 individuals. Paul sends greetings to 17 men (Aquila, Epenetus, Andronicus, Ampliatus, Urbanus, Stachys, Apelles, Herodion, Rufus, Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, Philologus, Nereus and Olympas). He sends his greetings to 9 women, 7 of which he names (Prisca, Mary, Junia, Tryphaena, Tryphosa, Persis, Rufus’ mother, Julia and Nereus’ sister). Of these individuals, 2 are married couples (Prisca and Aquila; Andronicus and Junia) and one more could either be husband and wife or brother 2010 William E. Wenstrom, Jr. Bible Ministries 2 and sister (Philologus and Julia). The apostle also sent greetings to the slaves or freedmen connected to the families of Aristobulus and Narcissus. There could be as many as five house churches, one headed by Prisca and Aquila, one each connected to the household of Aristobulus and Narcissus, one connected to Asyncritus’ group and those connected to Philologus. Of these individuals, Paul identifies 4 as being dear friends, Epenetus, Ampliatus, Stachys and Persis and 5 are Jews, Prisca, Aquila, Andronicus, Junia and Herodion. Next, in Romans 16:16, Paul commands the Roman believers to greet on one another with a holy kiss and also tells them that all the churches sends their greetings. Romans 16:16, “I myself request that all of you greet one another with a holy kiss. Each and every one of the churches owned by the one and only Christ give their regards to each and every one of you without exception.” In the first statement in this passage, Paul requests that the Roman believers and those whom he sends his regards to in verses 3-15 greet one another with a holy kiss. This kiss in the first century among Christians was an expression of greeting, affection, appreciation, intimate fellowship and unity. In western civilization in the twenty first century, this kiss would be equivalent to a hug or handshake. The adjective hagios , “holy” emphasizes that this kiss is reserved exclusively for fellow Christians. In the second statement in the verse the apostle passes along a greeting to the Romans from each and every one of the churches that he had planted among the Gentiles from Jerusalem to Illyricum. He passes along this greeting because he wants the Roman believers to understand that they are not alone and that the churches that he planted were identifying with them and regarded them as worthy of great respect. It emphasizes with his readers in Rome that the churches that he planted from Jerusalem to Illyricum regarded them as extremely important. Also, Paul wants to build unity between the Roman church and the ones he planted. 2010 William E. Wenstrom, Jr. Bible Ministries 3 Then, in Romans 16:17, Paul warns the Roman believers to watch out for those who cause divisions and temptations to sin and apostasy contrary to the doctrine they’ve been taught and that they were to avoid them. Romans 16:17, “Now, I warn each and every one of you without exception, spiritual brothers and sisters to keep a watchful eye out for those who cause those divisions as well as those temptations to sin and apostatize contrary to the teaching, which each and every one of you without exception learned. Also, all of you continue making it your habit of keeping away from them.” This verse contains a warning for the Roman believers to keep a watchful eye out for those who cause divisions in churches and who entice believers to sin and apostatize. This group of individuals is the Judaizers and their legalistic teaching is what caused divisions in churches and believers to sin and apostatize in the first century. The Romans were to keep a watchful eye out for these individuals because their teaching was contrary to the teaching they have learned from their pastor- teachers who received their teaching from the Lord and the apostles. On the heels of this warning, Paul commands the Romans to continue making it their habit of keeping away from these individuals.

  • Romans 7 and Sanctification by Andy Woods
    Romans 7 and Sanctification by Andy Woods Introduction This article will argue that one’s understanding of practical sanctification is profoundly impacted by how one views the “I” in Romans 7:7-25. Specifically, the article will argue that the “I” in Romans 7 is Paul, and in verses 14-25 Paul is reflecting upon his post conversion experience. In addition, the article will maintain that a post conversion view of Romans 7:14-25 leads to a dual nature view of the believer. This view teaches that although the believer has a new nature that he received at conversion, his Adamic nature still exists within him and continues to tempt him to return to his former sinful lifestyle throughout the course of this life. Finally, the article will contend that viewing believers through the lenses of the dual nature view shapes one’s understanding of practical sanctification in several important ways. Who is the Speaker in Romans 7:7-25? Three options for the speaker in Romans 7:7-25 have been proposed.1 First, some have proposed the theory of the Rhetorical “I”. According to this view, the pronoun “I” in Romans 7:7-25 serves as a literary device that depicts all of humanity. Thus, the “I” is not autobiographical but rather represents the experience of everyone. Second, others have proposed the theory of the Representative “I”. According to this view, the pronoun “I” in Romans 7:7-25 depicts the life experience of a representative figure that is typical of every person including the speaker. For example, the “I” of Romans 7:7-25 could represent the experience of Adam at the time of the fall.

  • THE CROSS and the CHRISTIAN's CALLING Romans 15-16
    The Cross and Christian Community The Cross and the Christian’s Calling Dr. David Platt September 29, 2013 THE CROSS AND THE CHRISTIAN’S CALLING Romans 15-16 Before you open your Bible, I want to pray for what is about to happen in the next few minutes. Acts 13 tells us that while the church at Antioch was worshiping and fasting and praying, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them” (Acts 13:2). I’ve often wondered how that happened. Exactly how did the Holy Spirit say this? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I do know that as a result of what the Holy Spirit said on that day, a missionary movement was born that led to the spread of the gospel throughout the known world in the first century. Earlier this month, we set aside a day to fast as a faith family, and we came together that night. One of the things we prayed for specifically was this day. We fasted and we prayed that God might see fit in our worship gatherings today to say by His Spirit, “Set apart these people for the work to which I have called them.” We’ve been praying ever since that day for the same thing: That by His Spirit through His Word in our worship today God might call certain ones of us from Brook Hills, from Birmingham to spread the gospel in places outside of Birmingham. Just so you know where this is all going, at the end of our time in the Word today, I’m going to invite anyone—any individuals, any couples, any families—in this room who believe the Lord may be setting you apart to move outside of Birmingham for the spread of the gospel to stand where you are, so that we can pray with you about that possibility in your life or your family.

  • BEING a DISCIPLE of JESUS CHRIST ROMANS 12:1-2 Live Sermon
    BEING A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST ROMANS 12:1-2 Live Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Following Jesus Christ really means changing our story. Even though we have been created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) Scriptures states that we all have sinned and fallen short of His glory (Romans 3:23). I can’t help but wonder if we were in the garden of Eden walking and talking with God would we not defiantly partake of the same tree because of our overwhelming desire to be like God, knowing both good and evil (Genesis 3:5)? Truthfully we are Adam and Eve’s children especially when it comes to our desire to sin! If the Biblical story ended with Eden, humanity would have been left with no hope, just a mere memory of what it was like to know God intimately. As it is there is hope for God has provided the means for us to truly know Him by following His Son Jesus Christ. For us to truly want to follow Jesus we must first be passionate about what it cost God to have us included in His redemption story. Despite our love for the world (1 John 2:15) and our continued desire to do as the pagans (1 Peter 4:3), God still loved us. The cost of us being His disciple was the death of God’s one and only Son. The cost for God was enormous but there are costs for us as well. By letting self die, taking up our crosses and follow Jesus Christ, we as His ambassadors are invited into His redemption story as royal priests (1 Peter 2:9)! While the command to be holy seems impossible (1 Peter 1:16), the Advocate teaches and empowers us to be genuine disciples of Christ.

  • Faith Vs. Opinion (Romans 14:1-15:7)
    “Faith vs. Opinion” ROMANS 14:1-15:7 Baxter T. Exum (#1168) Four Lakes Church oF Christ Madison, Wisconsin June 3, 2012 This morning I would like for us to look together at a comment that was turned in by one of our members several months ago – a request for more information concerning what the Bible has to say about handling differences of opinion as opposed to handling scriptural differences. As we study how to handle differences of faith and opinion, I would ask that we look together at a passage in the New Testament book of Romans – Romans 14-15 (p. 1777). Certainly this passage in the book of Romans is a passage that has been terribly misunderstood (and even abused) for many, many years. The passage was written by the apostle Paul to a congregation made up of both Jews and Gentiles, and it was written during a time when many of the new converts were coming right out of the Jewish faith, a time when the early Christians were really struggling to stay united in spite of some widely diverse backgrounds. We might say, then, that the book was written during a time of transition, a time when Gentiles (having previously been under the Law of the Heart) were merging with Jews (having previously been under the Law of Moses), a time when these two groups were merging into one large Christian family, both being governed by the Law of Christ. As you can imagine, there was some tension between those two groups, and nowhere was that tension greater than in the ancient city of Rome.

Paul's earliest writings, the Thes­ salonian letters, written some five years before Romans, rea­ sonably, because they feature Christ's second coming and the end of the age, are placed, save the Pastoral Epistles and Philemon, last of his fourteen Epistles. If Mordecai, with­ out explicit evidence, believed it was like God to have Esther on the throne at a most crucial time (Esther 4 :14), why should it be "judged incredible" that God had some­ ~hing to do with this arrangement of his Bible?

  • Getting Romans to the Right Romans: Phoebe and the Delivery of Paul’S Letter
    GETTING ROMANS TO THE RIGHT ROMANS: PHOEBE AND THE DELIVERY OF PAUL’S LETTER Allan Chapple Summary How did Romans reach the people for whom it was intended? There is widespread agreement that Phoebe was the bearer of the letter (Rom. 16:1-2), but little investigation of or agreement about the exact nature of her responsibilities. By exploring the data available to us, especially tha found in Romans 16, this essay provides a reconstruction of the events surrounding the transport and delivery of the letter to the Roman Christians. In particular, it proposes the following: Phoebe conveyed the letter to Rome, probably by sea; the church in Rome at this time consisted of house-churches; Phoebe was to deliver the letter first to Prisca and Aquila and their house-church; Prisca and Aquila were to convene an assembly of the whole Christian community, the first for some time, at which Romans was to be received and read; Prisca and Aquila were to be asked to arrange for copies of Romans to be made; Phoebe was to deliver these copies to other house-churches; and Phoebe was to read Romans in the way that Paul had coached her at each of the gatherings to which she took it. 1. Introduction It is the spring of AD 56 or 57, and Paul has just spent the winter in Corinth.1 Now he is on his way to Jerusalem with the collection (15:25- 1 For his spending the winter of 55–56 in Corinth, see C. E. B. Cranfield, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (2 vols; ICC; Edinburgh: 196 TYNDALE BULLETIN 62.2 (2011) 322).

  • Romans 14 17 the Kingdom of God HANDOUT
    THE KINGDOM OF GOD – ROMANS 14:17 September 19 & 20, 2015 TEXT: Romans 14:17 MEMORY VERSE: Romans 14:17 MAIN IDEA: God’s kIngdom Is dIffIcult to defIne because It Is so Important and extensIve. The term can refer to the unIversal reIgn of God over His creation. It Is also used to refer to the MessIanIc reIgn of Jesus ChrIst as God promIsed DavId – II Samuel 7:16. Later, when the house of DavId was In declIne, the prophet Isaiah clarIfIed that thIs promIse was to be fulfIlled In the MessIah who was to come – Isaiah 9:6-7. In Romans 14:17, the kingdom of God refers to the church. The most Important thIng to be said about the kIngdom of God Is that It Is God’s kingdom – It Is the realm In whIch God rules. FIrst we must see that GOD RULES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN (Daniel 4:17). John 18:36. Because the kIngdom of our Lord Is not of thIs world, the church should not contend for cIvIl and polItical power. Yet hIstory Is full of sad attempts by the church to do thIs very thIng. We can see from hIstory that the kIngdoms of men come and go but God’s kIngdom Is forever as Luther wrote In “A Mighty Fortress.” The kIngdom of God Is GOD’S KINGDOM. God rules and Is over and above any kIngdom of man and Is InfInItely superIor to them. The kingdoms of men rIse and fall but the kIngdom of God Is forever. ThIs Is the course of every human kIngdom.
