Verse 7 of 27
Commentary
Commentary on Romans 16:7
Theological / DevotionalAndronicus. The name means “conquering man.”
Junia. Or, “Junias.” This may be the name of either a man or woman.
Kinsmen. Gr. suggeneis, here probably meaning “fellow countrymen” as in ch. 9:3.
Fellowprisoners. Literally, “fellow captives.” Andronicus and Junia may have been incarcerated with Paul during one of his numerous imprisonments (see 2 Cor. 11:23), although such is not the necessary interpretation of the passage. They may simply at some time have been imprisoned as Paul was for the sake of the gospel.
Of note. Gr. episēmoi. Literally, “bearing a mark,” “stamped,” hence, “illustrious.”
Among the apostles. The meaning may be either that they were well known by the apostles or that they themselves were distinguished apostles.
Before me. That is, they had accepted Christianity before the conversion of Paul.
