I commend unto you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
All Commentaries on Romans 16:1 Go To Romans 16
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Note how many ways Paul dignifies Phoebe. He mentions her before all the rest and even calls her his sister. It is no small thing to be called the sister of Paul! Moreover, he has mentioned her rank of deaconess as well.
