Charles Ellicott Commentary Romans 16:2

"that ye receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever matter she may have need of you: for she herself also hath been a helper of many, and of mine own self." — Romans 16:2 (ASV)

In the Lord.—With the awareness that you are performing a Christian act, subject to all those serious obligations implied in the name.

As befits saints.—As Christians ought to receive a fellow-Christian.

Helper.—Patroness or protectress, in the exercise of her office as deaconess.

Of myself also.—Perhaps in illness.
