Commentaries on Romans 16:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen - As the word signifies relatives, whether male or female, and as Junia may probably be the name of a woman, the wife of Andronicus, it would be better to say relatives than kinsmen. But probably St. Paul means no more than that they were Jews; for, in Romans 9:3, he calls all the Jews his kinsmen according to the flesh. My fellow prisoners - As Paul was in prison often, it is likely that these persons shared this honor…Read the comment

The book of Acts reports that Paul was imprisoned overnight in Philippi (Acts 16:19–28). After Paul wrote Romans, he was imprisoned…Read the comment

But if, as is more probable, the word be, as in our version, "Junia," the person meant was no doubt either the wife or the sister of Andronicus. my kinsmen--or, "relatives." and my fellow prisoners--on what occasion, it is impossible to say, as the apostle elsewhere tells us that he was "in prisons more frequent" (2Co 11:23). which are…Read the comment
