Romans 16:4

GratitudeFellowship and the church

2 Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.

3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

5 Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

6 Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.
