The chapter opens with Paul's commendation of Phoebe, identified as a \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2 (deacon/servant) of the church at Cenchreae and a \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ac\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 (patron/benefactor) of many, followed by an extended series of personal greetings to more than two dozen named individuals in Rome. It then pivots to a warning against those causing divisions contrary to received teaching, characterizing such people as servants of their own appetites who deceive the naive through smooth speech, before closing with greetings from Paul's companions \u2014 including Tertius, who identifies himself as the letter's physical scribe \u2014 and a final doxology ascribing glory to God through Christ. The passage is of particular interest to historians of early Christianity because of its unusually high proportion of named women (Phoebe, Prisca, Mary, Junia, Tryphena, Tryphosa, Persis, Julia) holding significant roles, and because Junia in verse 7 is described as \"notable among the apostles,\" a phrase that bears directly on modern debates about women's leadership in the early church. The tripartite layout serves text-critical and translation-comparison purposes, making it a resource oriented toward biblical scholars rather than devotional readers.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Romans: Romans 16","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1414}
