People of Rome – Romans 16:14-17
Vs 15 – Philologus, Julia,
Nereus and his sister, Olympas and all the saints with them. It sounds like Paul was trying to remember
all the people he could in Rome
Vs 16 – Greet each other with
a holy kiss. This was a Middle Eastern custom.
Usually a kiss to cheek custom.
All the churches in Christ send greetings. Paul would be carrying all the greetings from
each church. It was also a general greeting.
Vs 17 – Paul warns his
readers to watch out for three type of people.
Those who cause division. Those
who put obstacles in the way of the faith.
Lastly, those who bring teaching contrary to what they heard from Paul
and other true apostles in the faith.
Paul tells his audience to avoid and keep away from such people. What fellowship does light have with
darkness? This just shows that false
teaching has been around since the beginning of the church.
