What Does Romans 16:8 Mean?
The list moves on to Amplias, a name common among servants and freedmen of the day. Paul knows nothing makes a person too lowly to be dear to him; he calls Amplias 'my beloved in the Lord,' a phrase of genuine affection.
The love is 'in the Lord,' a bond formed by their shared life in Christ rather than by status or circumstance. The gospel gathered people the world would never have seated at one table and made them beloved to one another. In Christ a servant and an apostle are brothers, and that kinship outlasts every earthly rank.
