What Does Romans 16:21 Mean?
Now those gathered with Paul send their own greetings to Rome. First is Timothy, his beloved 'workfellow,' the young companion who shared so much of his ministry. With him are Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, whom Paul calls 'my kinsmen,' fellow Jews and partners in the faith.
The flow of greeting runs both ways. Paul has greeted many in Rome; now his own circle greets them in return. Across the miles, believers who had never met were bound in one fellowship, sending love back and forth as one family. The church is a web of such affection, person to person, city to city, all held together in Christ.
