Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.
There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.
And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?
Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord.
greet also the church at their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the firstfruits in Asia for Christ.
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners; they are prominent among the apostles and they were in Christ before me.
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are laboring among you and who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you,
with a reputation for good works, namely, that she has raised children, practiced hospitality, washed the feet of the holy ones, helped those in distress, involved herself in every good work.
