Matthew Henry Commentary Romans 16:21-24

"Timothy my fellow-worker saluteth you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen. I Tertius, who write the epistle, salute you in the Lord. Gaius my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus the brother. [The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.]" — Romans 16:21-24 (ASV)

The apostle adds affectionate remembrances from persons with him, known to the Roman Christians. It is a great comfort to see the holiness and usefulness of our relatives. Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but some are. It is lawful for believers to hold civil offices; and it would be desirable that all offices in Christian states, and in the church, were entrusted to prudent and steady Christians.
