<p>16:14 <i>Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the believers that are with them- </i>Asyncritus is a name on an inscription in Rome, referring to a freedman of Augustus. If it is the same person, then he is significantly listed next to Hermes, a very common slave name. Paul would be demonstrating the truth of Gal. 3:27-29- slave and freedman were all together in Christ. Likewise there is an inscription in Rome mentioning <br />Patrobas as a freedman of Nero. And this name is followed by Hermas, a common slave name. Slave and free are therefore being purposefully juxtaposed together. See on :23 <i>Quartus</i>. &quot;The believers that are with them&quot; would suggest that there was a small house church associated with each of them. The slaves could feasibly run a house church comprised perhaps of other slaves and household members, right within the premises they lived and worked in.&nbsp;</p>
