What Does Romans 16:11 Mean?
Paul greets Herodion, another 'kinsman,' a fellow Jew who had embraced the gospel. He then turns to the household of Narcissus, sending greetings only to those within it 'which are in the Lord,' the believers among a larger company who did not all share their faith.
That careful phrase tells a quiet story: in one household some had come to Christ while others had not. Faith often takes root in this scattered way, a few hearts turning within a house, a workplace, a family. Paul does not overlook them but greets them by their truest identity, those who are 'in the Lord,' belonging to Christ even where many around them do not.
