Romans 16

Speaker Asa Humphreys

In these final verses of this great letter, Paul highlights a number of people for their jobs – Priscilla and Aquila (vs3), Mary (vs6), Urbanus (vs9), Timothy (vs21) and more. They are commended for working hard and doing so “for the Lord”. Not all these people worked in ministry – Erastus was the city’s director of public works. Paul himself was a tentmaker. God has created us to work (Genesis 2:15 ) and your job is part of God’s plan to redeem this world, in the power of Christ.
