Romans 16:6
4 who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.
7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow countrymen and fellow prisoners. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
8 Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.
