Commentaries on Romans 16:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us - Who this Mary was, or what the labor was which she bestowed upon the apostles, we know not. Her works, though hidden from man, are with God; and her name is recorded with honor in this book of life.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6Who bestowed much labour on us - Who labored much for us. Nothing more is known of her but this honorable mention of her name. It is probable that these persons were formerly residents in Greece, and that the apostle had there become acquainted with them, but that they had now removed to Rome.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3-16Although Paul had not yet visited the Christian community in Rome, he built a relationship with these believers by greeting many of them by name. The names show that the Roman church was very diverse. Jews and Gentiles, enslaved people and free people, men and women all formed a new community in the church (see Galatians 3:26–29).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 66. Greet--or "salute" Mary, who bestowed much labour on us--labor, no doubt, of a womanly kind.Read the comment
