Romans 16 – Paul greets all the brethren at Rome. Paul wrote Romans from Corinth. A young woman from there is going to Rome. In the first century, you couldn’t change churches unless the pastor wrote a letter of recommendation. Then he salutes or tell people hello. Priscilla and Aquila moved back to Rome. Then he begins to list people to greet. Then Paul list who not to trust. Vs.17 “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. Then the saints in Corinth say hello. This is a letter written to the saints in Rome. Then Paul begins to pray for the church in Rome.
