<p>16:9 <i>Greet Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ</i><i>-</i>&nbsp;&ldquo;A common Roman slave name found among members of the household&rdquo; (Sanday and Headlam).</p><p><i>And Stachys my beloved- </i>A rare Greek name, but recorded as being used among members of the imperial household. &quot;My beloved&quot; suggests that Paul knew this person from his previous missionary work- and now somehow this believer was in Rome and perhaps in Caesar's household. Paul's point is that the Gospel has united Jew and Gentile, and penetrated the most strongly Gentile places. And he asks the Roman church to participate in that mission which clearly was of the Lord through His Spirit.</p>
