اللَّذَيْنِ وَضَعَا عُنُقَيْهِمَا مِنْ أَجْلِ حَيَاتِي، اللَّذَيْنِ لَسْتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أَشْكُرُهُمَا بَلْ أَيْضًا جَمِيعُ كَنَائِسِ الأُمَمِ،

who have for my life laid down--"who did for my life lay down" their own necks--that is, risked their lives; either at Corinth (Act 18:6, Act 18:9-10), or more probably at Ephesus (Act 19:30-31; and compare Co1 15:32). They must have returned from Ephesus (where we last find them in the history of the Acts) to Rome, whence the edict of Claudius had banished them (Act 18:2); and doubtless, if not the principal members of that Christian community, they were at least the most endeared to our apostle. unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles--whose special apostle this dear couple had rescued from imminent danger.

As in the main body of the epistle he appears to have been a very knowing man, so in these appurtenances of it he appears to have been a very loving man. So much knowledge and so much love are a very rare, but (where they exist) a very excellent and amiable - composition; for what is heaven but knowledge and love made perfect? It is observable how often Paul speaks as if he were concluding, and yet takes fresh hold again. One would have thought that solemn benediction which closed the foregoing chapter should have ended the epistle; and yet here he begins again, and in this chapter he repeats the blessing (Rom 16:20), "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, Amen." And yet he has something more to say; nay, again he repeats the blessing (Rom 16:24), and yet has not done; an expression of his tender love. These repeated benedictions, which stand for valedictions, speak Paul loth to part. Now, in this closing chapter, we may observe, I. His recommendation of one friend to the Roman Christians, and his particular salutation of several among them (v. 1-16). II. A caution to take heed of those who caused divisions (Rom 16:17-20). III. Salutations added from some who were with Paul (Rom 16:21-24). IV. He concludes with a solemn celebration of the glory of God (Rom 16:25-27).

بِهذَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا الْمَحَبَّةَ: أَنَّ ذَاكَ وَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِنَا، فَنَحْنُ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَضَعَ نُفُوسَنَا لأَجْلِ الإِخْوَةِ.
لأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِ الْمَسِيحِ قَارَبَ الْمَوْتَ، مُخَاطِرًا بِنَفْسِهِ، لِكَيْ يَجْبُرَ نُقْصَانَ خِدْمَتِكُمْ لِي.
فَإِنِّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ صِرْتُمْ مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِكَنَائِسِ اللهِ الَّتِي هِيَ فِي الْيَهُودِيَّةِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، لأَنَّكُمْ تَأَلَّمْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَهْلِ عَشِيرَتِكُمْ تِلْكَ الآلاَمَ عَيْنَهَا، كَمَا هُمْ أَيْضًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ،
وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجُوا أُولئِكَ الْمُلُوكَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ دَعَا كُلَّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَالَ لِقُوَّادِ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ الَّذِينَ سَارُوا مَعَهُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا وَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَكُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ هؤُلاَءِ الْمُلُوكِ». فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَوَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ.
لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «هأَنَذَا أَفْتَكِرُ عَلَى هذِهِ الْعَشِيرَةِ بِشَرّ لاَ تُزِيلُونَ مِنْهُ أَعْنَاقَكُمْ، وَلاَ تَسْلُكُونَ بِالتَّشَامُخِ لأَنَّهُ زَمَانٌ رَدِيءٌ.
غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَسَمَ اللهُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، كَمَا دَعَا الرَّبُّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ، هكَذَا لِيَسْلُكْ. وَهكَذَا أَنَا آمُرُ فِي جَمِيعِ الْكَنَائِسِ.
فَكَانَتِ الْكَنَائِسُ تَتَشَدَّدُ فِي الإِيمَانِ وَتَزْدَادُ فِي الْعَدَدِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ.
وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ.
فَاجْتَازَ فِي سُورِيَّةَ وَكِيلِيكِيَّةَ يُشَدِّدُ الْكَنَائِسَ.
وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ الْجَمْعِ لأَجْلِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، فَكَمَا أَوْصَيْتُ كَنَائِسَ غَلاَطِيَّةَ هكَذَا افْعَلُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا.
