Greet Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that are of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
Read Chapter 16
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
When Paul calls Herodion his kinsman and nothing more, he shows that he was faithful in the love of the new birth, but he does not mention his perseverance. Narcissus is said to have been a presbyter of the time, and this is what we find in other manuscripts…. This presbyter Narcissus went about encouraging believers by his preaching. And since Paul did not know what the merits were of those who had been with him, he asks the Romans to greet those of his household who had put their trust in the Lord and who were therefore worthy of his greeting. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
